15.3. Coherence - cross domain | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In contrast to the definition used by national accounts, the population figures produced by demographic statistics include foreign residents with a stay 90-364 days and residents with Czech citizenship and permanent residence in the CR independently on the length of stay. The residence permits statistics is based on the registered residence, international migration data are based on the usual residence derived from data on registered residence. |

15.4. Coherence - internal | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
National changes in classifications are usually implemented at the beginning of the reference year.
Population: - Before 2001, data referred only to the resident population of the Czech Republic (irrespective of their citizenship). Since 2001, following the 2001 Population and Housing Census, the data have also newly included foreigners with a visa for stay over 90 days and foreigners with asylum status - Since 1 May 2004, all data have referred to citizens of the Czech Republic and foreigners with permanent residence in the Czech Republic, third-country nationals with temporary residence in the territory of the Czech Republic based on a long-term visa (over 90 days) or a permanent residence permit, nationals of the EU Member States, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein and their family members with notified temporary residence in the territory of the Czech Republic and foreigners with valid asylum status in the Czech Republic. - Since 2022, the population has also included persons granted temporary protection in the Czech Republic with usual residence in the Czech Republic Births: - In the period from 1 January 1965 to 29 February 1988, internationally recommended definitions of a child were valid in the Czech Republic, according to which: a birth of a live foetus (a live-born foetus) is a complete expulsion or extraction of a foetus from its mother (regardless the length of the pregnancy), provided that the foetus after the delivery is breathing or shows other signs of life such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord or movement of voluntary muscles, although the umbilical cord has not been cut or the placenta has not been delivered. - In the period from 1 March 1988 to 31 March 2012 a live birth was defined by the Decree of the Ministry of Health No 11/1988 Sb on mandatory notifications of terminated pregnancies, death of a child, and death of the mother, as the complete expulsion or extraction of a child from its mother provided that the child shows at least one of the signs of life and its birth weight is: a) 500 g or more, or b) lower than 500 g, if it survives the first 24 hours after birth. The signs of life were: breathing or beating of the heart or pulsation of the umbilical cord, or movement of voluntary muscles, although the umbilical cord has not been cut or the placenta has not been delivered. - Since 1 April 2012: The national legislation does not contain direct definition of a stillbirth. Existing legal regulation, the Act No 372/2011 Sb, on Health Services, as amended, defines only a foetus after abortion (see above). On that base, the definitions of stillbirth (and live birth) is stated in the guidelines for filling in the “Death certificate (Report on examination of the deceased person)”, for the needs of filling in of the Death certificate. The stillbirth is defined there as the foetus, which after the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother shows none of the signs of life and at the same time its birth weight is 500 g and over and provided that the weight cannot be measured, if the pregnancy lasted 22 weeks and over, and provided that the length of the pregnancy cannot be measured, if the crown-heel length is 25 cm and over. |
