Abstract
The results of a cooperative research project seeking to better understand re-migration potential provides a unique opportunity to compare the gender differentiated experience of migrants living and working in the Czech Republic. The data includes a range of individuals who originate from both the proverbial 'East' and 'West', focusing on three linguistic groups representing the various migrant communities in this Central European country.
We find that particular groups demonstrate variation internally that is missed when gender based analysis is not undertaken. In order to shed light on this atypical outcome this paper provides an overview of gender differentiated responses and stipulates how a gendered understanding is imperative if we are to better understand migrant decision making or re-migration trends.
