Abstract

The paper examines the reflection of the population stability and the labor market during the transformation period in Czechia. The results are based on an extensive survey in 16 selected border microregions. Population stability is shown eg. by the percentage of natives. The most often mentioned reasons for not moving from the border region were housing, family relations, work, and the feeling of "being here at home". Among the most often mentioned reasons for changing jobs were financial reasons, company liquidation, and an employment termination notice given by the employer. The results of reflection are considerably different in each border region of the Czechia
