Economic and social impacts of migration : The case of the United Kingdom
Béres, Dóra ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
From 2015, a huge influx of refugees came from the Middle East, the Balkans, Central Asia and Africa to Europe. It is triggered by various persecutions, armed wars, economic impossibility. The majority of those arrived were refugees, those who had fled their country due to imminent threat or persecution and were even trying to reach the European continent at the risk of their lives. The others are economic immigrants who have migrated to the European Union in the hope of a better life - to work, study or reunite. The UK has been a major destination for both migrants and refugees for many decades. The dissertation draws attention to the complex effects of migration, with a particular focus on the host country, and highlights, especially in the UK, the need for migrants in an aging society in Europe, even if the public thinks otherwise. With the Brexit, the UK has exited the European Union, cut back on previous benefits for EU migrants and is opening up to former Commonwealth members as sending countries.

Emigration from Czech territory to Brazil
Němečková, Klára ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Novotná, Markéta (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the emigration from Czech territory to Brazil since the 20th century to the present. The thesis is based on the analysis of push and pull factors which led to emigration in both the domestic and receiving countries. In the first chapter, there are presented theoretical factors which could possibly lead to emigration and in the second chapter these factors are directly applied on the historical background in both countries. In the last chapter, the presence of these factors is analyzed in particular human testimonies which were found out by the author of this thesis via structured dialogues with Czech emigrants. The aim of this thesis is to identify push and pull factors of emigration and to present them in those testimonies. The aim is thus not to generalize these motives on a large scale but likely to analyze through the push and pull factors the circumstances and particular stories of emigration at eight enquired respondents. The reports of the structured dialogues are part of the attachment of the thesis.
