Abstract

The main objectives of the article were: a comparison of the demographic and SE indicators in the South Moravian Region, a study of the development of demographic and SE indicators in the South Moravian Region in the years 2006-2015 and the clustering of similar districts on the basis of demographic and SE indicators as well as mortality and its main causes. The set of aspects affecting the structure of mortality represented 12 demographic factors and 2 socio-economic factors. The results of the composite indicator and the beta convergence indicate that the positive development of the analysed factors was mainly achieved by the Vyškov District and the Brno-Country District, while negative development was observed in the Břeclav District. The cluster analysis was based on four clusters: cluster 1 (Břeclav, Hodonín and Znojmo districts) showed below-average values of the demographic and the socio-economic indicators with a relatively favourable mortality rate based on causes of death; cluster 2 (Blansko and Vyškov districts) was classified as average; cluster 3 (mainly including the Brno-Country District) was seen as the best and cluster 4 (mainly including the Brno-City district) was observed to have negative development.
