landscape
The area is mainly mountainous, except for the plain that stretches along the Morava River and in the Slovácko region in the Uherské Hradiště area . The Moravian-Silesian Beskids are to the north, the Javorníky Mountains are to the east and the White Carpathians stretch to the south , which also form the natural border with Slovakia . To the south follow Vsetínská hornatina (" Vsetín Mountains") and Vizovická vrchovina (" Vizovice Mountains"), in the southwest Chřiby . The soil is poor in minerals and humus. Fertile soil can only be found in the valleys of the rivers. 49% of the land is used for agriculture. In the region there are some large protected landscape areas, especially the Beskydy and White Carpathians , which are also protected by UNESCO . The White Carpathian Euroregion is intended to encourage general cooperation in the nature reserve.
Demographics
The birth balance has been positive in recent years, but the overall development since 1994 has been negative. The average age in 2017 was 42.7 years.
economy
The district is one of the regions with a rather outdated infrastructure, mainly due to the liquidation of large companies and poor transport connections to the previously strong raw materials and intermediate products processing industry, which makes up 18% of companies in the manufacturing sector. These are mainly companies that process rubber and plastics (2%), metal processing (27%), electrical engineering (14%), mechanical engineering (3%) and the food industry (5%). The low level of modernization of the machinery also has a negative effect. The gross domestic product is 175,614 crowns per inhabitant. This is generated by 122,912 companies, of which 14,714 employ staff. In companies with more than 25 employees, more than half of all employees are gainfully employed.
labour market
The employment rate increased by 1.5% compared to 2001. The average wage was CZK 13,843, about CZK 2,000 below the national average. Unemployment was 4.48% in 2017.
Social facilities
In 339 kindergartens, 237 primary schools, 14 grammar schools, 51 technical high schools and 35 vocational schools, children are prepared for working life. There are also 11 post-secondary schools and the Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín with five faculties. There are 312 residents for one doctor in the district. 11 hospitals with 3,375 beds care for the sick.
