Mobility and assimilation of immigrants: variations in migration patterns of Ukrainians and Vietnamese in the Czech Republic
2018
Abstract
The distribution of international migrants is an essential part of sociogeographical differentiation. In addition to international migration, internal or domestic migration plays an important role in immigrants' geographical distribution.
Based on data from the population register, census, and a quantitative survey, we analysed the internal mobility of Vietnamese and Ukrainian immigrants, which are the first and third largest international migrant groups in the Czech Republic. Using the assimilation perspective, the results of the analysis indicate that each ethnic group behaves differently.
Specifically, the concentration of these immigrants differed at both regional and neighbourhood levels.
