Štandardne sa demografické prognózy na Slovensku spracovávajú každých 10 rokov v nadväznosti na výsledky sčítania obyvateľov, z ktorého sa získava východisková štruktúra obyvateľstva podľa pohlavia a veku. V intercenzálnom období sa podľa potreby a okolností spracovávajú revízie prognóz, ktoré sa zameriavajú obvykle len na najpravdepodobnejší scenár prognózy...

Regionálne rozdiely sú na Slovensku významné a dlhodobo sa prejavujúce. Týkajú sa aj demografického správania a samotného populačného vývoja. Rozdiely v reprodukčnom správaní obyvateľov v regiónoch Slovenska (spolu s ďalšími nedemografickými faktormi) majú za následok rozdielne smerovanie počtu, prírastkov a vekového zloženia obyvateľstva. Rozdiely v počte a štruktúre obyvateľov sú súčasťou signifikantných regionálnych rozdielov, ktoré sa prejavujú vo viacerých oblastiach spoločenského života....

Regional disparities in secondary education present significant obstacles to equitable human capital development, particularly in areas where demographic decline and resource imbalances exacerbate the issue. This study examines the spatial and structural dynamics of secondary education enrollment in Slovakia, focusing on demographic and curricular factors. Using a random-effects spatial error model, we analyze panel data from districts over two decades (2003-2023). The model accounts for spatial interdependencies while addressing unobservable district-level heterogeneity....

Not only among the lay public, but also among experts and scientific researchers who deal with the life of Roma in Slovakia, there is a prevailing opinion that if we wanted to characterize the situation of Roma in Slovakia in one sentence, we would say that it is bad and is constantly getting worse. The presented article aims to implicitly and explicitly show the causes of the current situation by evaluating selected aspects of the life of the Roma ethnic population in Slovakia...

The factors influencing divorce remain a relatively under-researched area within (geo)demographic and sociological studies. This study extends the scope of inquiry by conducting a comprehensive examination of the divorce process. We demonstrate the possible way to discover (regional) factors of family dissolution using geostatistical methods, in addition to a demographical approach. In terms of the research background, a comparative perspective is essential. Here, we bring quite a pioneering view. For decades, the two countries involved, Czechia and Slovakia, shared the same legal environment within one state (Czechoslovakia) with a socialist regime. At the same time, many demographic, social, cultural, and religious dissimilarities existed between them. Through a multidimensional analysis, we aim to identify the influence of different groups of divorce factors at the level of local administrative units (LAU 1) during two transformation stages, specifically in three time series: at the beginning of the postsocialist transformation, at the turn of the millennium in 2001, and in 2011. We bring new empirical evidence and underline the role of geographical methods when discovering the time and space patterns of divorce. The most important finding is that regional differences are mostly induced by factors associated with religion, reproductive behavior, economic activity, education, and marital behavior. However, the explainability of regional factors after two decades of societal transformation is lower.
