Anotace: Population development in Czechia and Slovakia after 1989 has in many ways resulted in historically unique

changes in the character of demographic reproduction. These are characterised by a dramatic decline
in nuptiality, fertility and induced abortion, postponement of childbirth, and delayed entry into first marriage.
At the same time, divorce rates and life expectancy have increased. There has been an upturn in foreign
migration, which has become one of the most important factors of population growth. However, in contrast
to a general convergence between Czechia and Slovakia achieved under a common state, the demographic
trends after 1993 have diverged.
