Předběžná náplň práce v anglickém jazyce

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification Germany has had to face many challenges. One of these has been the phases of the internal westward migration within the German state since 1989. I would like to research the causes and effects of this westward migration of people from the eastern part of Germany to the western German states from 1989 to 1994. The economic situation in the east has sparked this exodus, but what is significant is the populous that is migrated westward. Young educated women are the highest demographic leaving their lives behind in the east and heading for the west. Germany is a country already with a relatively low birth rate and this trend in migration is greatly affecting the demographics of new German states.

I would like to talk about what has caused the mass exodous of people from the eastern states in Germany to the western states around the time of and directly after German reunification. This internal migration has caused serious problems within the German states and has left many east Germany cities largely abandoned. In addition, there are many extremist groups that have gained popularity over time in the eastern states in part due to this demographic change. While the driving force behind the migration is largely economical there are many other disasterous consequences to extensive relocation of a population.
