AB  - We analyzed the age structure of population in Czech regions, assessed the differences in the levels of the regions' population age, and based upon the quantification of assumed changes we assessed the pace of ageing up to 2050. The analysis does not include the population migration, and is based on the indicators "ratio of productive population" and "ageing index" based on the factor analysis of the indicators closely related to the age of population. By means of cluster analysis we arranged the regions according to both mentioned indicators into groups where we, to be able to compare the groups, used their standard values and mean growth coefficient. The pivotal result is the order of regions from the points of view of the level of population age in 2005 - 2050 and the pace of population ageing in the predicted period of time 2005 - 2050. For better illustration we made out graphs where the structure of regions according to the age of population and the process of ageing can be deduced.
