Labour Market Inclusion of International Protection Applicants and Beneficiaries

Abstract

This paper discusses the labour market inclusion of international protection applicants and beneficiaries with a special focus on the Czech Republic. The issue of letting the asylum seekers and refuges to enter the labour markets of the Members States freely and without obstacles constitutes a hot-debated topic in the EU and differs from country to country. One can say that this topic was taken out of context and exploited during the recent Brexit campaign that resulted in an unexpected "leave" vote that shocked the United Kingdom. The migration card was played mainly for political reasons. However, most people forget that almost 3 million people born in the UK currently reside in other EU countries (which is about the same amount as the number of people born in other EU countries living in the UK. The Czech Republic is a different story altogether. It represents a typical immigration country with all its characteristic features, yet the nature of the incoming migration. The analysis of the provisions and regimes in the Czech Republic shows that the country (similar to most of the EU Member States) is not very attractive for asylum seekers in general but those international protection applicants who chose to go there, do this on purpose as a part of their carefully planned migration strategy. The structure and the mix of asylum seekers in the Czech Republic seem to prove this postulate.

Sustainable economic growth and innovative development of educational systems

“…As the population is aging, more and more stress is put on the "gig economy" where users have to be highly-skilled and intellectual agents that can easily adapt the working environment and to reveal their preferences for goods and services (Jenkins et al, 2003;Janda et al, 2013;Čábelková & Strielkowski, 2013;Strielkowski et al, 2016;Mostenska & Bilan, 2015;Androniceanu & Ohanyan, 2016;Zuzeviciute, Praneviciene, Simanaviciene, & Vasiliauskiene, 2017).…”

Management and promotion of economic innovation potential

“…leading to radical changes of all productive and economic system, and improving, directed to change of this or that subsystem of productive and economic system (Koudelková et al, 2015;Strielkowski et al, 2016;Mishchuk et al, 2016). Furthermore, the basic and improving innovations can be technological, organizational and managerial or marketing.…”

Economy of education: National and global aspects

“…As both the society and the state need highly educated citizens, professional specialists knowing foreign languages, the state provides assistance in creating the required standards that ensure the quality of education and are up to the relevant objectives and tasks of education (Strielkowski et al, 2016). The specific nature of quality education standards -their sources, content, and extent of compulsoriness -is associated with the structure of quality assurance mechanisms.…”

“…In the broad context, economic policy in education is a subject of interdisciplinary studies as it is inseparably associated with political and managerial decision making, social factors, national and mental particularities and value reference points of the population, as well as the trends of global education and the international labor market (Strielkowski et al, 2016).…”
