The Czech Republic has announced
plans to institute programs to curb illegal workers coming from Mongolia.
The program is unusual, however,
in that it will seek cooperation from the Mongolian government to prevent
Mongolians from migrating to find work in Czech Republic.
Recent employment figures from
the Czech Republic indicate, as of June 2007, there were 7,515 Mongolians
working in the Czech Republic. Two years earlier, that figure held at
1,900.
Czech Interior Minister Ivan
Langer will sponsor the program which seeks to create ‘consultancy
and support’ for those Mongolians legally entering the Czech Republic
and also offer assistance to the International Organization for Migration
(IOM) on juveniles without accompaniment.
Additionally, the Interior
Ministry will use the program to reduce the abuse of migrants coming
to work in the Czech Republic by offering a true picture of employment
opportunities in the Czech labor market.
The Czech Republic has similar
programs operating in Moldova, Armenia and the Ukraine.
