Analýza kvality života s využitím databáze SHARE

Quality of life is a multidimensional and largely subjective concept that plays a key role in assessing the living standards of the aging population. This bachelor's thesis focuses on evaluating the quality of life of individuals aged 50 and over in the Czech Republic. The analysis utilizes data from the 7th, 8th, and 9th waves of the international panel survey SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe). For the purposes of this research, 11 modules were selected, including demographics, social support, physical and mental health, activities, employment status, housing standards, and consumer habits. The aim of the thesis is to analyze selected indicators from these modules, quantify their dependence on the respondents' demographic factors, and evaluate the overall quality of life of the examined population using the R programming language. In addition to the current state, the thesis also examines the development over time across the selected waves. The analysis revealed both positive and negative factors affecting the respondents' quality of life. Considering both of these aspects, it can be concluded that the quality of life of the population aged 50 and over in the Czech Republic is at a high level. Furthermore, the identified dependencies of the monitored indicators on demographic factors (age, gender, and education) proved to be very weak.
