In the Czech Republic, finding regions whose demographics were quite negatively affected by the intense socio-economic change, which went through the whole Czech Republic during the 90th the last century. These administrative units include the Moravian-Silesian region, the demographic development is characterized by long-term population decline. Although the causes of population decline was found in both natural increase and net migration in the area, as more serious problem appears to us a negative migration balance, as in this case, the long-term development in the region, contrary to developments in other regions of the Czech Republic.

Keywords: Moravian-Silesian Region, population, natural increase, net migration, immigrants, total fertility, emigrants
