Map of the month June 2024: International Children's Day
International Children's Day was first proclaimed in Geneva during the World Conference on Child Welfare 1925 and is now celebrated on 1 June in many countries in honour of children. On this occasion we take a look at the distribution of children (aged 14 or less) in the Centrope region. The map shows a remarkably high percentage of children in relation to the total population in the Bratislava region whereas Burgenland and the Hungarian part of Centrope have less children per total population. The situation in the Czech Republic is heterogeneous due to the small municipality size, but we can see a higher percentage of children in the greater metropolitan areas.The map is available through our geoportal map.centropemap.org.
Chart of the month May
In May we take a look at the crude birth rate, which indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. The chart shows the values from 2011 to 2021 and reveals a similar trend in the gross birth rate in all four Centrope countries. The positive dip in 2021 is probably due to the lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic. The statistics also show that the crude birth rate in the Czech Republic and Slovakia is always higher than in Hungary and Austria; it is also above the EU average, which ranges between 9.1 and 9.5 in the period under review.

CentropeSTATISTICS is the only available free web tool to visualise cross-border statistical data in its own connected geoportal allowing the user to influence the way of visualisation in multiple ways in the Centrope region. CentropeSTATISTICS can not only create maps, it also serves charts which are interactively created from the data in the cross-border database. For the Czech Republic, CentropeSTATISTICS does not only cover the Centrope county Jihomoravský, but also features data from the counties Vysočina and Jihočesky which are also adjacent or close to the Austrian border.
