REGIONAL DISPARITIES IN CONTEXT OF WORKING MIGRATION IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC

The current situation and trends in the labour market are discussed in detail by various experts from different areas. Not only economic and social processes are monitored, but also demographic changes, whether it is population structure, population aging, but also labour migration. Migration of labour, emigration or immigration is a very important aspect related to the current situation on the labour market. Labour migration and immigration may pose a certain risk for countries. Migration of the population as one of the major trends requires special attention. The Slovak Republic is characterized by considerable regional differences in different areas. Therefore, as the main objective of this article, we have identified the current situation in regional disparities in the context of labour migration, emigration and immigration. To track regional disparities, we chose the NUTS 3 territorial division - the division into eight regions in the Slovak Republic. The contribution is based on the analysis of statistical data on immigration and emigration of the labour force from the Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic and the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic.
