[The quality of demographic development in Czechoslovakia from the European viewpoint].
Forty years of a totalitarian regime imply economic, cultural and moral devastation. Statistical analyses reveal, however, also demographic devastation in particular in the sphere of health and social aspects. This means that the basic indicators of the quality of demographic development in Czechoslovakia during the last 25 years are remarkably close to the indicators of the former socialist system and that they deteriorate and lag behind when compared with other countries, in particular developed industrial countries. This trend can be also called "balkanization" because Czechoslovakia which belonged before the war among the eight most highly developed industrial countries dropped at the end of the eighties to the level of demographic indicators of Bulgaria, Jugoslavia, Hungary, Roumania etc. In the submitted investigation the authors demonstrate these facts based on the analysis of selected coefficients of quality of the demographic development such as infant mortality, specific mortality of the male and female population aged 55-59 years and the mean life expectancy of men and women at birth, on the background of the general European demographic situation. For analyses only the latest data published by UNO were used.
