GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES IN SELECTED ASPECTS OF SOCIAL SITUATION AND HEALTH STATUS OF FOREIGNERS LIVING IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Original language description

Objectives: Demographic differentiation caused by the history of migration in the Czech and Slovak Republics led the authors of this article toanalyse generational differences in the groups of foreigners living in the Czech Republic (CR) and the impact of generational differences on selectedaspects of their social situation and perceived health. The crucial research question was whether and to what degree do different generations offoreigners vary from each other and what impact this has had on their social situation and health determinants.Methods: The main goal was to examine mutual relationships between selected characteristics of social situation and health determinants invarious groups of foreigners living in the CR. A total of 1,003 questionnaires among foreigners officially living in the Czech Republic were collectedand analysed. In the area of subjective perception of health, a comparison of foreigners with Czech citizens (representative sample of Czechseniors; 1,172 respondents) in the age category 65+ was made in order to find out whether this perception differs between senior foreign nationalsand senior Czechs.Results: Older individuals (50–64 years and 65+ years) appeared to have the best integration into Czech society. This age generation feltpositive about stay and migration status in the CR. Older foreigners differ from older Czech citizens who tend to refer to their health as very goodto rather good compared to foreigners who described their health as neither good nor bad. The middle generation (30–49 years) of foreignerswas characterized by hard work and the initial stages of integration into Czech society. This group also reported positive feelings about living inthe CR relative to their home country.Conclusion: The oldest generation of foreigners is the best integrated in the Czech Republic (with regard to selected aspects tested in thisarticle). This generation is able to offer new immigrant effective integration strategies. However, they assess their subjective health one degreeworse in comparison with Czech seniors (representative sample), this finding should lead to the setting of preventive programmes related to ahealthy lifestyle, including lifestyle for foreigners living in the Czech Republic.
