Integration of Immigrant and Recognized Refugee Children
PETRŮ, Eva
The subject of my thesis is {\clqq}Integration of Children of Immigrants and of Asylum Seekers``. I have chosen this topic because migration problems have become one of the actual topics in public life in the present Europe and its importance increases because the number of migrants constantly increases. The Czech Republic encountered the problems of fugitives and immigration shortly after the fall of communism in 1989. To this time it had been isolated from the other world for a long time and therefore it may seem it is unprepared for these problems. This can be seen on imperfect integration policy, but also on attitude of public towards the newcomers. Considering the fact that the number of immigrants and fugitives coming to the Czech Republic as a destination country has increased, it is necessary for us to learn to co-live with the foreigners. I have aimed the thesis at problems of integration of immigrants, asylum seekers and their children because I think that the question of integration of foreigners into the Czech society is one of the most important for the trouble free co-existence. I divided the work into theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part of the thesis I am researching the development of migration in the world and development of migration in the Czech Republic, history of fugitives in the Czech Republic, problems of underage aliens without close escort, psychosocial situation of immigrants and asylum seekers, their integration, education of children of aliens, multicultural education and social work with immigrants, asylum seekers and their children. In the practical part I used the method of a quantitative research. Goal of this thesis was to uncover the insufficiencies in integration of children of the immigrants and asylum seekers living in the Czech society. Questioning was the method for gathering data for research, data collection technique was the questionnaire. I created three types of the questionnaires. One of them was designated for children of immigrants and asylum seekers attending basic school. I handed out 60 questionnaires, returnability was 86.6%. Second questionnaire was designated for social workers from various organizations engaged in problems of integration of aliens. Here only 6 from the 20 sent out questionnaires returned to me. Returnability was 30%. The third questionnaire was designated for basic school and high school teachers. 25 questionnaires were handed out. Returnability of these questionnaires was 64%. In hypothesis 1 I assumed that there are no special methods designated for integration of children of immigrants and asylum seekers in the Czech Republic. In hypothesis 2 I assumed that the longer is the residence of children of immigrants and asylum seekers in the area of the Czech Republic the less they meet with racism and xenophobia. Both hypotheses were confirmed on the basis of conducted research. Findings from the theoretical and practical part are summarized at the end of the thesis.

The Czech Republic and the Issue of Refugeeism Compared with Other Types of Immigration After Accession to the European Union
POHLOVÁ, Petra
My thesis is based on description of asylum policy of Czech Republic after year 1989, as well as the fact about influence of entering Czech Republic in EU, according to asylum policy and the number of immigrants. There is a description of immigration after year 1989. There is also a description of the number of immigrants and the common view of these questions. This situation is compared with the situation in similar Belgium. The main purpose of my thesis is to make description in the domain of immigration in both countries and further comparation in the domain of asylum policy, the number of immigrants and their nationality origin. My thesis also includes common asylum and migration policy of EU. According to a fact that immigration to Belgium started earlier and that Belgium is called the "Land of asylum", this country was always very attractive destination with many new opportunities and better standards of life. There was also a big immigration influence to local culture. There is a big difference between Belgium and Czech Republic, because Czech Republic has not had yet open approach to other nationalities. The immigration to Czech Republic started much later and there is no important influence to czech culture. The nationalities of incoming immigrants to both countries are also different.

Issue of discrimination of immigrants and asylum seekers living in the Czech Republic
FITTLOVÁ, Romana
The behaviour of the majority towards foreigners (including asylum seekers and immigrants) is often based on stereotype thinking and the resulting prejudices against a group or an individual. Discrimination occurs then on the base of those prejudices. But discrimination is not only a problem of minorities; anybody in essence can become a victim of discrimination. There are a number of forms of discrimination, but even in case discrimination occurs in public, it can be proved only with difficulties. The theoretic part of the bachelor work is focused on the definition of the concept of discrimination and its forms, the concepts related with the issue of discrimination, the concepts from the sphere of migration, refugees and asylum seekers. The last part of the theory deals with the issue of media and their influence on the society. Two methods of qualitative research were used for the investigation of my bachelor work. The first was the method of controlled interview with selected members of majority population. The second method used was the method of contents analysis of a selected newspaper with focus on coverage (articles) of immigrants and asylum seekers (or possibly applicants for international protection). The contents analysis was performed retrospectively for six months of issue of the selected newspaper. The first goal of the work was to ascertain the opinions, stereotypes and prejudices related to immigrants and asylum seekers (or possibly applicants for international protection) among the selected members of the majority population. The second goal was to ascertain how the selected newspaper presented the coverage (articles) of immigrants and asylum seekers (or possibly applicants for international protection) {--} i.e. to discover whether it did not offer neutral (unbiased) view of the relevant situation in fact by using certain word classes. Both those goals were met. As my work presents qualitative research, the hypotheses were set only on the base of the research results. Among other things, e.g. the hypothesis No. 1 was set: Personal experience with foreigners shall be described mostly by respondents from the category of early and middle adulthood (age range from 20 to 45 years). Hypothesis No. 5: The members of majority population would not be ready to accept an asylum seeker or an immigrant as a member of their family. Hypothesis No. 15: The headlines of the articles correspond to their contents. Further hypotheses are stated in the discussion part. My work gave base to the origin of several suggestions for solution of the relevant issue, e.g. by expanding the awareness of the issue of migration, not only in schools but also through different lectures for broad public and of course also through the media, in order to guarantee the information level of broad classes of the public, further by releasing the public from prejudices concerning foreigners from Eastern countries {--} through contact with foreigners from those countries to broad public, e.g. meetings with the foreigners, lectures about those countries, about the problems the inhabitants can have in their relevant countries, etc. Further suggestions are described in the end of the work.

Employment of the Foreigners in the Czech Republic
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.

These two ONGs focus on the integration of imigrants to society. In the second part I used the method of questionary investigation. Both, the Spanish and Czech people, were asked about their attitude to the problem of the integration of immigrants.
