| Description | He currently lives in the Czech Republic almost 10,380,000 people, where every year the average age increases, which is now 38.8 years for men and 41.8 for women r under the age of 65 years and above is 14.6% of the population CR. Over 60 years is almost 22.8%. We currently have 3.3% of persons over 80 years (1.1% over 85 years). Life expectancy at birth - life expectancy is now in the Czech Republic in males 73.45 and females 79.67 From year 1990 LE extended by 5.8 for men and for women by 4.3 years, whereas previously 20 years (from 1970 to 1990 ) practically did not change. Also, the national average age index, which is constantly increasing in the Czech Republic is 102 (even 128 in Prague). This leads to a significant old population aging. Demographic prognosis for the future of the Czech population (2030) of seniors will rise from 40 to 80%. Expected LE extension up to 4 years for both sexes, with the number of people over 65 years will constitute 23 to 25% of the population (people 80 and over to rise to 5-8%). By 2050, the Czech Republic continued this trend of significant aging of the population - 60 year 40%, over 65 year and 33% over 80 year almost 10%. Each CR will be twenty people 85 years older. Age index rises in the Czech Republic in 2030 to 181 in 2050 to 252 in the medium variant of development. Figure 1 shows the analysis of the current status and future trends to 2050. |
