| Popis: | 100 Immigration policy of the Czech Republic can be such a complete policy today because of two reasons. The first reason is that, as part of European integration process, all member states of the EU should comply with European Union immigration policy. The other reason is that due to economic recession, a large number of immigrants are thrown into unemployment, and this forces Czech government and society to deal with migration issues. These migration issues emerged after 1989 when the Czech Republic became a democratic country and thus also became an immigration country. In the early days, the Czech Republic struggled with the democratization of its political system as well as a transition toward market economy, and had no strengths left to concentrate on creating a comprehensive immigration policy managing immigration trends. However, the accession of the Czech Republic to the EU in 2004 promoted the forming of immigration policy in the Czech Republic based on the EU acquis on immigration. Nevertheless, the effects of globalization and European financial crisis compelled the Czech Republic to confront a dilemma: while unemployment rate is higher than ever, labor market still lacks certain specialized workers. According to the Czech Ministry of Interior, this situation can be solved through migration and it is even necessary to regard “migration” as one of the instruments encouraging economic growth. To sum up, this dissertation discusses the labor migration policy of the Czech Republic, based on policy analysis and Dual Labor Market theory. This diploma work is divided into three parts. The first part includes a general description of the common labor demands in the EU and how the EU promotes mobility of its citizens and immigration of third-country nationals to supply shortages on the labor market. The second part discusses the structure of immigrants and the problems of migration. The last part relates the above mentioned problems to the solutions in order to realize how the Czech government establishes labor migration policy to balance the demand of human capital on its labor market in response to the influence of economic downturn and the whole work concludes with an analysis of migration policy. |
