POPULATION DEVELOPMENT IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC IN 2022

The article analyses the demographic development of Czech Republic in 2022 and sets it in the context of demographic trends in the last decade 2013-2022. The study focuses on the main demographic processes, namely fertility, mortality, nuptiality, divorce rate, and migration. The population of the Czech Republic grew as a result of the positive balance of international migration in 2022. Although the number of deaths decreased significantly year-on-year, the number of live births decreased considerably as well. Life expectancy at birth has increased for both sexes. The number of marriages increased to the level of 2018. The divorce rate continued its decline and, unlike nuptiality, it did not return to its pre-pandemic level.
