Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to determine the main economic factors that influence the self-selection process of migrant workers when settling in Slovakia. Considering the growing number of migrant workers in Slovakia, it is necessary to determine which factors influence them most when choosing a final destination within the country. Paper deals with the allocation of migrant workers in Slovakia focusing on the mutual relationship between the total number of migrant workers and the average wage, and the number of vacancies in 2010 and 2020 in individual districts. The paper also analyses the domestic labour market with emphasis on internal and foreign labour migration. The study is based on migration and self-selection process theories. In the paper, we work with data from public institutions in Slovakia, especially the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family, the National Bank of Slovakia and the Statistical Office. To achieve the goal, Spearman's coefficient is used and its significance and linear regression are tested. The results show that the correlation between the number of migrant workers in individual districts and the number of vacancies was stronger than the correlation between the number of migrant workers and the amount of average wage in both monitored years 2010 and 2020.

影响斯洛伐克国际移徙工人移徙目的地选择的因素

本文的主要目标是确定影响移民工人在斯洛伐克定居时自我选择过程的主要经济因素。考虑到斯洛伐克境内移徙工人的人数不断增加，有必要确定在斯洛伐克境内选择最终目的地时，哪些因素对他们影响最大。文件涉及斯洛伐克移徙工人的分配，重点是移徙工人总数与平均工资之间的相互关系，以及2010年和2020年个别地区的空缺人数。本文还分析了国内劳动力市场，重点是国内和国外劳动力迁移。本研究基于迁移和自我选择过程理论。在本文中，我们使用了斯洛伐克公共机构的数据，特别是劳动、社会事务和家庭部、斯洛伐克国家银行和统计局的数据。为此，采用Spearman系数，对其显著性和线性回归进行检验。结果表明，在2010年和2020年监测年份，各区农民工数量与职位空缺数量的相关性强于农民工数量与平均工资数额的相关性。URL: https://www.gcass.science.upjs.sk/
