The Lives of Vietnamese Women in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The roots of the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic can be traced back into the 1950s, when both the countries forged strong economic ties within the Eastern Block. Since then thousands of Vietnamese have started streaming into Czechoslovakia for study or work laying foundations of the Vietnamese community with more than 53 000 members, out of which women constitute forty-three percent. Over time, three distinct social groups or classes have developed within the community, along the lines of three different migration waves of Vietnamese to Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic. Members of each wave have developed different lifestyles and are coping with divergent issues and varied modes of integration. The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of the most pressing issues Vietnamese women face while integrating into Czech society. The primary focus here will attend to four measures considered essential for a successful immigrant integration by the Czech Ministry of Interior: knowledge of the Czech language; economic self-sufficiency; knowledge of the host society; and mutual relationships between immigrants and the majority. The chapter further argues that the level of integration of Vietnamese women depends on the time of their arrival in the Czech Republic and on their socio-economic status.
