Immigration Policy between Selective Recruitment and Restriction: Ethical Questions Concerning Third-Country Migrants in the Czech Republic
2016
Abstrakt
One can perceive a tension in contemporary European politics: while the mobility of EU citizens and their access to the job market is not being restricted, restrictive regulation in both areas is being brought to bear on immigrants from non-EU countries. Until now, the form of this regulation has remained the domain of individual states.
This provokes various relevant social and ethical questions, which deal, for example, with the irregular residency permit status and employment regulations for immigrants from non-EU countries, or their access to the national social system, as well as their integration. In this article, the focus is on the situation in the Czech Republic, which constitutes a "young European settlement country."
