Vliv Brexitu na migraci ve Velké Británii v období 2016-2024

The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to analyse how Brexit transformed migration proces-ses in the United Kingdom in the period 2016–2024 and how it affected the structure of individual migration flows and their impacts on the UK labour market. The theoretical part defines key concepts related to migration, presents major migration theories, and outlines the European and British migration cotext, including the institutional framework and changes in the UK migration policy. The practical part examines the development of immigration, emigration and net migration after 2016 and evaluates the effects of the newly introduced points-based immi-gration system and humanitarian visa schemes. The thesis analyses changes in the compo-sition of migrants by country of origin and purpose of stay and assesses their position in the labour market, including employment rates, sectoral distribution, qualifications and wage conditions. The results show a significant decline in migration from EU member states and, controversely, an increase in migrants from non-EU countries, particullary in work and study migration. After 2021, the numbers of skilled workers, especially in health nd social care, rises, while low-skilled sectors face persistent labour shortages. Humanitarian mi-gration after 2021 is shaped mainly by the war in Ukraine and Afghan relocation progra-mes. The analysis further confirms the growing importance of migrants in the UK labour market, their distinct qualification structure, and substantial wage differences across natio-nalities. The thesis provides a comprehensive overview of the key factors shaping migration in the United King-dom after Brexit and contributes to understanding how legislative changes and global events influence migration trends and the economic integration of migrants.
