The number of Filipino workers in the Czech Republic has nearly doubled over the past two years, reaching nearly 15,000 by March. To address critical staffing shortages, the Czech government will significantly increase quotas for highly qualified professionals from the Philippines starting in July. This influx of labor is primarily aimed at supporting domestic hospitals, which are struggling with a lack of nurses, paramedics, and doctors. Experts note that the Philippines is a long-term global source of skilled labor, filling gaps created by an aging Czech population. However, legal experts warn that the process of entering the Czech labor market remains difficult for both employees and employers. The trend was recently discussed in a detailed economic analysis on the program Události.
