 Analysis of the similarity of unemployment development in individual regions of the Czech Republic in the years 2009-2024KarolÃna Egererová and Jozef Adamko Littera Scripta, 2025, vol. 18, issue 2 Abstract: This thesis deals with unemployment in the regions of the Czech Republic. The aim of the thesis was to analyze the development of unemployment in the regions of the Czech Republic between 2009 and 2024 and to identify groups of regions with similar unemployment trends. The influence of the educational structure of the population was also taken into account. To achieve this goal, content analysis and cluster analysis were used to group regions based on the similarity of their long-term unemployment trends. The research showed that unemployment trends are regionally differentiated, stable in the long term, and strongly related to the educational structure of the population. Regions with a higher proportion of university-educated people had lower unemployment and higher labor market adaptability, while regions with structural problems had the highest long-term unemployment. The study thus provided a new perspective on regional differentiation in unemployment and confirmed the importance of education. A limitation of the research is that it does not include other factors that may influence the labor market. These facts leave room for further studies in this area.
