Description:
Stáří a stárnutí jedinců jsou bezpochyby fenomény, které zaujímaly významné místo ve společnosti již v dobách dávno minulých. Během 20. století však nabrala otázka stárnutí nového rozměru, neboť začala nově přesahovat z úrovně individuální na úroveň celospolečenskou. V důsledku zlepšování některých společenských podmínek (např. lékařské péče, životního stylu, hygieny, životní úrovně atd.), jež bylo nastartováno již zhruba na počátku 19. století, dochází k odsouvání úmrtí do vyšších věků, a lidé tak žijí déle. V moderních společnostech je tento jev obvykle doprovázen poklesem porodnosti a plodnosti. Kombinace těchto dvou faktorů pak ve svém konečném důsledku způsobuje proces, který nazýváme demografickým stárnutím. Obecně je tedy třeba rozlišovat dva pohledy na problematiku stárnutí. První pohled se zaměřuje na tzv. stárnutí individuální, druhý přístup se zabývá demografickým stárnutím lidských populací, ovšem je zřejmé, že obě dvě hlediska jsou mezi sebou navzájem provázaná. Podobně tomu bude i v následujícímpříspěvku, jenž se bude zabývat nejen přehledem problematiky demografického stárnutí, ale dotkne se také otázek o dlouhověkosti a kvalitě života, které se dostávají do popředí v souvislosti s tematikou stárnutí jednotlivců., Old age and aging of individuals are phenomenons that took important place in society as early as former times. During twentieth century the question of aging got new meaning, because it newly started to overreach from individual level to all-society. As a result of improvement of some social conditions (f.e. medical care, lifestyle, hygiene, living standard etc.), that was already initiated approximately at the beginning of the nineteenth century, dying started to be moved to higher age and people live longer. In modern societies this event usually goes with decline of natality and fertility. In final effect combination of these two factors causes the process that is known as demographic aging. In general we have to distinction between two views of problems of aging. The first view is focused on individual aging, the second one on demographic aging of human population. But it is clear that both of these views relate to each other. Similarly this article offers the roundup of problems of demographic aging, but also gives a touch of questions about longevity and quality of life, that gain ground in connection with theme of individual aging., Michaela Dimitrová., and Seznam literatury

16. Editace odpovědi na výzkumný dotaz

Language:

Description:
The article stands as the fourth part of a series about the question answering process during standardized surveys and elaborates the phase of editing the response. Major moments and processes are explained that affect the shape of final answer at this stage and the narrow relationship of these facts to the nature and quality of survey data is pointed out. Step by step those phenomenons like rounding of numerical answers, the effect of answering scales in terms of its range, frequency, polarity or response order are elaborated and facts like response styles, range-frequency effect or positivity bias are mentioned. In the end, the problem of social desirability and its influence onto final answer is addressed, as well as some opportunities of elimination. Described aspects are related mainly to the distinction between factual and attitudinal questions, nonetheless in the course of presentation there are mentioned also particularities of some other question formats., Jak bylo v předchozích částech seriálu několikrát zmíněno, dosažení rozhodnutí ještě není definitivní tečkou za procesem zodpovídání výzkumného dotazu. V poslední fázi kognitivních procesů musí respondenti takto dosaženou odpověď většinou ještě nějakým způsobem upravit. Například je třeba výsledek hledání v paměti a rozhodování přizpůsobit některé z možností, kterou nabízí dotazník, nebo se respondent rozhodne svou výpověď modifikovat k sociálně přijatelnější podobě. Také v této fázi tedy dochází k přímému vlivu kognitivních aspektů na podobu výsledné odpovědi a také zde je tedy vhodné zkoumat, které procesy a faktory mohou odpověď ovlivnit a jaké dopady to může mít na povahu a kvalitu dat získaných v rámci dotazníkového šetření., Jiří Vinopal., and Seznam literatury

Description:
This article explores how aggregate level data may be used to make inferences about individual level behaviour. A common strategy in the past was to assume that the relations evident in aggregated data are also present in individual data. Analysis of datasets where there is both individual and aggregated information demonstrates that this assumption is most often incorrect. This means that the relationships observed between variables at an aggregated level are unlikely to be observed in individual level data. This is a problem because quite often social scientists only have aggregated data for exploring individual level behaviour. A key question explored in this article is how is it possible to validly and reliably use aggregated datasets to make inferences about relationships between variables at the individual level. An example analysis is given using electoral data from the Czech Republic., Pat Lyons., 4 obrázky, 4 tabulky, Obsahuje bibliografii, and Anglické resumé

18. Empirický výzkum chudoby v českých zemích ve třech historických obdobích

Description:
This article deals with empirical research on poverty in Czechoslovakia from the interwar period to the present in terms of three distinct phases. First, between 1918 and 1948, considerable attention was devoted to poverty, but research possibilities modest, so that a complex mapping of the problem was not feasible. Second, during the 1948 to 1989 period, the communist regime allowed "examinations" of poverty for the purpose of depicting pre-war capitalist Czechoslovakia as an impoverished, class-divided society. A similar approach was applied to studies of Western countries during the Cold War period. Research on poverty within the socialist regime was not allowed, even after the rehabilitation of sociology as a social science. Detailed analysis of household surveys was either forbidden or the results were embargoed; only simple cross-tabulations were ever published. Third, after 1989, the opportunities for undertaking research on poverty increased dramatically due to stimulus in both the national and international arenas. Important projects were fielded leading to many studies and published articles. Statistical surveys were used to map poverty primarily in terms of income; while sociological, ethnographic and anthropological approaches were used to examine key groups affected by poverty in Czech society. Within the literature there has been to date no synthesis of the study of the nature and origins of poverty in the Czech Republic., Jiří Večerník., and Obsahuje bibliografii a bibliografické odkazy

Description:
The European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) set of surveys are an important source of comparative statistical data. EU-SILC provides data on income, living conditions, poverty and social exclusion, material deprivation: topics of growing interest to scholars in Europe and elsewhere. EU-SILC surveys are fielded in 29 European countries and coordinated by Eurostat. Although the survey is harmonised, the individual level microdata consists of many dissimilarities across participating countries because of different national conditions, methods of data collection and/or data processing. The aim of this article is to discuss the opportunities and limitations of EU-SILC datasets. In addition to discussing the development, methodology and basic pitfalls of EU-SILC, this article focuses on (a) income variables, (b) differences in income among countries and (c) impact of income differentials on data comparability. The main problems of income data may be summarised as follows. 1) Some countries use registers to report income variables while others obtain this information from interviews, and this difference lowers their comparability. 2) The incidence of negative or zero values makes the construction of poverty and inequality measures difficult. 3) There are national differences in the net-to-gross income conversion procedure. This study shows using a four country analysis that the net-to-gross conversion procedure overestimates gross wages in two countries and underestimates it in two others. Notwithstanding these methodological issues, EU-SILC is an important resource for the comparative study of income., Martina Mysíková., and Obsahuje bibliografii a bibliografické odkazy
