Gender differences according to demographic indicators in the Czech Republic

Gender statistics constitute the main tool, which enables the exploration of differences between males and females in different areas, not only demographic, economic and social. On a daily basis, we encounter statistical indicators which show different results for males and females. In the introduction of this bachelor thesis, basic terms relating to gender are defined. It focuses mainly on the most used terminology in the field of gender issues, which has been substantially influenced by the modern society. After collecting necessary data from the Czech Statistical Office and other sources open to public, the second part of the thesis describes selected demographic indicators by gender. This is done firstly for the Czech Republic as a whole and then at the level of NUTS 3 regions. In the third part, gender differences and relations between studied indicators are expressed with the aid of various graphs and several analyses of selected demographic indicators. It captures especially the diverse age and education structure, employment rate etc. The fourth, final, part focuses on organizations within the Czech Republic, which actively pursue gender issues
