Some of the macroeconomic effects of labour migration following the Czech Republic joining the European Union
Vystrčil, Tomáš ; Černý, Michal (advisor) ; Tomanová, Petra (referee)
When the Czech Republic joined the European Union in 2004, the number of foreign nationals working in the Czech Republic quickly grew, along with their impact on the national economy. The aim of this thesis is to analyse and compare the effects of foreign and native labour on the gross domestic product (GDP) of the Czech Republic. Then we shall compare the effects of immigrant labour originating from the EU with other foreign nationals. Using the ordinary least squares method to analyse time series data, it is shown that labour migration has a positive effect on the GDP growth and the results are statistically significant. It seems that labour from the EU is the most productive group, followed by the foreign labour from other countries.

Střechová, Veronika ; Drbohlav, Dušan (advisor) ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee)
TITLE: CURRENT LABOUR MIGRATION TO THE CZECH REPUBLIC: THE SYNTHETIC STUDY OF INTEGRATION MODELS OF THE THIRD COUNTRY NATIONALS The aim of the thesis is to describe a process of an integration of eight groups of third country nationals in Czech society by using findings of several researches conducted in Czechia since the late nineties of the 20th century. The information about immigrants from Russia, Ukraine, China, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Arabic countries and about immigrants from countries of Sub-Saharan Africa are structured in accordance with a concept of integration as a multidimensional process, suggested by Friedrich Heckmann and Wolfgang Bosswick. The work reveals a high internal diversity of researched groups in terms of a type of a residence permit which individuals possess, socioeconomic attributes, phase in a life cycle of individual, relationship of individual to the country of origin and his or her future plans about settlement in Czechia. These diversities are reflected in a number of different patterns and levels of integration of compatriots in a spatial, structural, cultural, interactive and identification dimension of integration. There is a research perspective change in the closing part of the thesis. This change is done in order to highlight those kinds of migrants'...

The Social and Political Regulation of Labour Migration: The Case of the Czech Republic
Čaněk, Marek ; Barša, Pavel (advisor) ; Kostelecký, Tomáš (referee) ; Woolfson, Charles (referee)
This dissertation is about the changes in the regulation of labour migration in the Czech Republic, specifically between the period of economic boom in 2007 and 2008 and the beginning of the global economic and financial crisis. The developments of labour migration processes and policies were studied in relation to the political economy of foreign direct investment and the rise of the competition state in the Czech Republic. The materialisation of these developments resulted in the Czech Republic's further integration into the global labour market. Labour migration policy changes in the case of the Green Card project, however, did not confirm the thesis that the Czech Republic's migration policy eventually became subordinated to the competition state project. Not only did the Ministry of Industry and Trade lack bureaucratic capital in the field of migration regulation but also, there were tensions between different notions of the competition state project while 'migration management' was reorganised in the interest of the Ministry of the Interior. Closely following struggles over the regulation of labour migration in the administrative and political fields, this dissertation contributes to literature on the labour migration perspective of the competition state. The migration crisis is studied from...

You cannot step twice into the same river, can you? Austria and its "Guest Workers" in the Periods of 1961-1974 and 2002-2011
Kavan, Ondřej ; Dimitrov, Michal (advisor) ; Konrád, Ota (referee)
In the beginning of 1960s, as a result of the "economic miracle," Austria had to face an increasing labour shortage that threatened the so appreciated economic growth. The problem was solved by means of a regulated labour migration programme based on the so- called rotation principle. The programme aimed to ensure foreign workers' role as a flexible labour force for times of economic boom while securing their return back to their homelands in times of economic downturn. After the programme was abruptly ended in 1974, a majority of "guest workers" instead of returning home settled down in Austria. This however undermined the core idea of the programme and it became dysfunctional. The "Gastarbeiter programme", which represented a policy of immigration without integration, thus became a highly controversial topic. In spite of that fact, a similar policy for seasonal workers was implemented in Austria between 2002 and 2011. The main goal of the thesis is to analyse both the periods, ascertain whether these represent comparable phenomena and explore the transfer of historical experience. Due to the diachronic relation of the two periods, significant attention is paid to the contexts within which both the policies have been implemented. For that reason, the thesis offers an in-depth discussion of...
