about Jana
Jana Susinkova came to the UK in 2002 with her Czech boyfriend. She was only
18 and he a little older. She worked as a domestic cleaner, undercutting the level
local women charged by at least 1 per hour. She had enough work to keep busy
6 days a week. Her boyfriend was a mechanic and odd-job man, and his job
provided accommodation for them.
Late in 2011 Jana returned home to Slovakia. Her boyfriend had already left to
find a job in the Czech Republic, where the growing economy offered increasing
opportunities for skilled people. While in the UK they saved enough money to buy
materials and labour to build a 4-bedroom house in the Czech Republic, giving
them an excellent start to their married life. Janas English had become fluent, so
she quickly found a well-paid job where she uses it everyday.
Lesson Outcomes
EU Migration
Wealthier countries usually receive immigrants
searching for work and a better lifestyle. These are
economic migrants.
Europe needs immigrant workers because of:
Link to ageing
1) Falling birth rate
population
2) Resulting lack of workers
Highly skilled workers come to the EU to take jobs in
areas of shortage e.g. teaching, nursing and high-tech
computer jobs. About 20% are graduates. Even so,
many people see immigration as a problem rather than
an opportunity.
Poland - UK Migration
The UK received 600,000 Eastern
European migrants between 2004 and
2006.
The largest group are Polish.
Most have found formal jobs with better
pay than they would at home, while living
costs in the UK are only twice that in
Poland.
