Abstract

The authors of this article present partial results of a survey carried out among female returnee migrants waiting for employment at self-management interest communities for employment. Evidence has been received indicating a negative socio-economic status of women migrants in relation to male migrants. It is shown that there are no significant shifts in the qualification structure of women returning migrants who have received low qualifications for less attractive jobs. It has been established that there is also danger of a separation of families in return processes due to difficulties in employment.
