FIŠEROVÁ, Petra
Movement of citizens for work used to be and is a worldwide phenomenon {--} whether we consider moving of people for work within one country or between various countries. Since the beginning of the nineties, many foreigners have been coming to the Czech Republic with an intention to find work here and to improve therefore their living conditions. However, often they do not succeed to meet that goal as they wanted. In particular citizens from the former Soviet Union and various Asia countries do not find the best work conditions and assertion. If we do not mention illegal employment, even those who are employed legally often work for minimum salaries, in bad conditions and under continuous risk of expatriation. In this dissertation I focus on comparison of work conditions and work opportunities of citizens from so called Western countries and those from the former Soviet Union and South-Eastern Asia. Besides, in the theoretical part I endeavour to clarify the issue of so called client system which deteriorates strongly work conditions of citizens from the countries of the Confederation of Independent States and Russia.
