Expected population development in Czech regions and its consequences

In January 2014, the Czech Statistical Office published its demographic prospect for the regions of the Czech Republic. It follows the medium option of the prospect for the whole Czech Republic published in 2013. Unlike previous prospects, the current prospect has been computed including migration. Its influence not only on the population size but mainly on its sex and age structure is (especially in some regions) very considerable. The population development in the Central Bohemian Region and, in particular, in Prague is expected to be quite different from that in the other regions. While in Prague and Central Bohemia the population size will be increasing due to expected permanent immigration, the other regions will mostly face stagnation or even population decline. Population ageing will continue in all the regions but it will be slower in Prague and Central Bohemia than in the remaining regions.

Keywords: population prospect, sex and age structure, population ageing, Czech Republic, regions
