Modelling Deprivation of the 50-plus Population of the Czech Republic Based on the Share Survey

Anotace: In the paper, two composite indicators – the indices of material and social deprivation – are analyzed based on the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe exploring the population aged 50 and over. A finite normal mixture model for the social deprivation index and a finite mixture of Bernoulli and normal distributions are used to model the distribution of the indices of deprivation for the Czech Republic in 2013. Applying a logistic regression model, the parameter of Bernoulli distribution is supposed to be dependent on explanatory variables. In terms of material deprivation, the situation in the Czech Republic is comparable to other European countries, the social deprivation index, showing, however, higher values.
