Preliminary scope of work in English

Vietnam is one of the first countries that sent its citizens to Czechoslovakia and has currently made up the third largest foreign community in the Czech Republic, after Slovakia and Ukraine. At the moment, there are more than 60.000 Vietnamese people living in the Czech Republic but nearly 20.000 of them have just arrived during the last few years to work in factories. Unfortunately, since the end of 2008, the global financial crisis started to strike the Czech economy. The situation seemed to have lesser impact on local workers than on foreign ones. A huge number of foreign workers have lost their jobs, of which the most effected group was from Vietnam.

This research aims at making readers understand about the situation of Vietnamese workers in the Czech Republic, including those who arrived earlier and those who have arrived in the last few years. It looks for the reasons that brought them to difficulties and then proposes some recommendations to improve the efficiency of the labour export activity of Vietnam.
