Analýza mzdových rozdílů Čechů a Slováků na českém trhu práce

This bachelor thesis is based on the analysis of wage differences between Czechs and Slovaks in the Czech labour market. Wage inequalities are analysed in the categories of education, age and classes of the CZ-ISCO classification and the main aim is to identify what causes these wage differences. First, the theory of migration and its effects on wages are explained. According to the topic of the work, the historical development of migration in the Czech Republic up to the present is presented. The practical part is focused on the empirical analysis of wages, which is performed by using a classical linear regression model. In the empirical model, the significance of the variable representing highly educated workers was demonstrated. On the other hand, basic and incomplete education also have a significant effect on the wage gap which proves the very different characteristics of incoming Slovaks. In the category of job classification according to CZ-ISCO classes, the cause is not unambiguous. It is only possible to exclude some groups where significant wage differences do not arise. Additional analyses exposes that the largest wage differences arise for employees working as specialists ranging in age from 40 to 49 years.
