Trends of regional differentiation in the reproductive behavior of the population in the Czech Republic during the transformation
Abstract
Changing the political system in the Czech Republic brought besides other things radical, unexpected changes in reproductive behavior of the population. This thesis deals with the course of changes in reproductive behavior of the population in the districts of the Czech Republic and the main aim of this thesis is to analyze the spatial development of these changes and whether there are spatial patterns, which are spread by new, innovative, reproductive behavior.
Changing patterns of reproductive behavior was in the territory of around the Czech Republic in a very short time in which we can observe the different status of "urban districts" with the exception of Ostrava. In comparison with other districts we can see rapid transformationof reproductive patterns in these "urban" districts and they become the leading districts inthe process of transformation of reproductive behavior.Includes of the presented study is also performed cluster analysis in five selected years, whose aim is to group the individual districts by similarity of reproductive behavior.
