Abstract:

The focus of this bachelor thesis is the development of the Human Development Index (HDI) and the determination of the influence of macroeconomic indicators on the Index in the Czech Republic. The objective is to assess whether there is a significant relationship between Inflation, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Unemployment and the HDI for the period from 1992 to 2021. The literature review focuses primarily on the presentation of the HDI and its ideas. The selection of macroeconomic indicators is then explained on the basis of scientific sources, and each of them is discussed in more detail. In order to determine the possible relationships between the HDI and each of the indicators, scientific articles from different countries around the world with similar analyses were also cited. The practical part is devoted to own research using statistical methods such as time series, correlation and regression analyses. As a result, the trend function for HDI is determined with high accuracy, correlation and regression analyses confirm a significant relationship between Inflation, GDP and HDI in the Czech Republic and refute the impact of Unemployment on the Index.
