Te aim of this paper is to present a brief analysis of population ageing in Czechia in the last three decades,
a time when very important political and socio-economic changes occurred in the afermath of the Velvet
Revolution in 1989. Population ageing accelerated owing to a rapid increase in life expectancy and a deep
decline in fertility caused by the postponement of maternity to a later age. Te ageing process was partly
slowed by a relatively high rate of immigration. Te paper shows the development of mean age and changes
in the age structure of the population using broad age groups defned by reproductive age and by productive
age. It also presents the ageing indexes and old-age dependency ratio. Besides these standard indicators the trends
in alternative indicators based on remaining life expectancy and the concept of prospective age are also analysed.
