“…Czech housing market is full of interesting features and oddities (Sanderson et al 2014). For instance, there is a regulation of house rents at state-owned housing facilities (see Sunega, 2005;Lux, 2003) or cheap regulated rents provided on the property market by the Czechoslovk state after 1991 (Lux, 2002).…”

Our paper aims at analysing and assessing sustainable housing policy and social security in selected countries of the European Union with a special focus on housing policy which largerly depends on the family support and family policy of the EU Member States. Family policy and family support allow young families to acquire their own housing and therefore represent a key element in the bundle of the social-oriented state policies. The paper describes the historical development of housing policy and security as well as provides comprehensive analyses of the existing housing policy instruments. Moreover, it focuses on the standard of living and various legal aspects of the social policy in the post-Communist countries using the case study of the Czech Republic. The analysis is done through the comparison of the state-of-the-art in the Czech Republic to the wealthier and more developed EU Member States represented by Germany and United Kingdom. We find that in all countries in question housing is of good quality but each country stands out with its own specifics that are dependent on the economic and social situation. Moreover, we find that the EU membership plays an important role in the formation and development of social policy and housing policy.

“…One would probably agree that Ukrainian migration in the EU (and in some countries where it is particularly abundant, such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy, or Spain) signifies a significant occurrence and special implications for the labour market and national security (see Iglicka, Weinar, 2008;Strielkowski, Weyskrabova, 2014;Ambrosetti et al, 2014;Čajka et al, 2014;Ducháč et al, 2015;Strielkowski et al, 2015;or Van Mol et al, 2018). Moreover, Sanderson et al (2014) focused on the construction sector, because of its significance in the process of new destination creation in the Czech Republic, also found that the Ukrainian migration into the Czech Republic is firmly channelled along occupational lines linking the Ukrainian and Czech construction sectors.…”

International migration is a functional component of modern societies, both wealthy and poor. In a way, one can see that migration solves the unequal distribution of people and opportunities. Despite the political pressure to control immigration, almost all changes in politics have broadened the scope of legal immigration to allow for settlement by refugees, farm workers (in case of urbanrural migrations), "illegal" immigrants with long-term residence in the country, and workers in great demand to move around freely. Our main research objective is to demonstrate, using the available data as well as the analysis of the metadata and the research literature, that migration, especially labour migration, has a narrow connection with the issues of national security. Large outflows and inflows of people might bring about security threats linked to organized crime, terrorism and the spread of radical ideas. Moreover, migration is responsible for the brain drain of young and well-educated people who are searching for higher wages and better opportunities abroad depriving their own home country of valuable human capital. Our paper analyses the phenomenon of international migration perceived from the angle of migration culture that goes hand in hand with recent globalization trends all around the world. We come to a solid conclusion that migration policy should be treated as an important element in establishing well-ballanced national security policy in the globalized world. It might be of a particular interest for the migration scholars, labour market economists and stakeholders and policy-makers dealing with the issues of national security, public and migration policies, as well as sustainable economic development.

“…The primary cause of possible migration was thought to be related to socio-economic reasons, such as better employment possibilities in other countries [25] and the possibility of attaining freedom of expression as well as the possibility of criticizing the representatives of the community [26][27][28]. Among the preferred countries of migration, it was the Russian Federation that occupied one of the first places [29,30]; it was rated higher by the respondents than in the case of Greek Catholics or other Orthodox believers.…”

This paper studies the relationships between religion and migration in modern-day Ukraine. We focus on Ukraine's numerous churches and their attitude toward the phenomenon of emigration, their relevant activities with regard to the outward migration from the country, and the migration experiences and intentions of the believers. We find that the Greek Catholic Church has put special attention on the emigration phenomenon in its social doctrine, while the doctrines of other churches have been less elaborate, both in general terms and with regard to the issue of external migration in particular. Moreover, we demonstrate that worshippers belonging to the different churches have very similar growing concerns about the negative effects of Ukraine's economic development-social divide and unemployment in particular.
