Abstract

This text focuses on the effect of the Czech immigration programs to the flows of qualified foreign workers in the Czech Republic. The accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union in 2004 substantially changed the entry of citizens of other countries to the Czech labour market. The Czech Republic actively attempts to recruit qualified foreigners by several immigration programmes: there was the program for the Selection of Qualified Foreign Workers from 2003 to 2010, the Green Card Project started in 2009 and the Blue Card Project became effective on 1st January 2011. The aim of this article is to analyse and explain the impact of immigration programmes with the help of statistic data.
