Foreign Born Population by Period of Arrival in Severozápad (CZ04)

This chart illustrates the distribution of the foreign-born population in Severozápad (CZ04) by their period of arrival to the Czech Republic.

Key observations:

• The largest share of foreign-born residents (31.4%) arrived between 2011-2015, reflecting increased labor migration following the global financial crisis recovery
• Recent arrivals (2016-2022) represent the second largest group at 27.8%, indicating continued appeal of the region to migrants
• A significant portion (22.3%) arrived between 2006-2010, coinciding with the Czech Republic’s EU integration and pre-crisis economic boom
• Longer-established migrants who arrived before 2000 represent only 8.5% of the foreign-born population

The distribution shows that Severozápad’s foreign-born population is predominantly composed of relatively recent arrivals, with nearly 60% having arrived since 2011. This reflects the region’s increased demand for workers in manufacturing and construction sectors over the past decade, particularly as younger Czech nationals have increasingly migrated to Prague and other major European cities.
