Together with mainly economic factors influencing the migration decisions, there is also a migration potential which is unique for every country and that largely pre-determines the outgoing migrations or labour mobility decisions. This paper compares the migration potential and migration decisions for the Czech Republic and Poland using the data for inter-regional and rural-urban migrations. These data that can be used as a proxy for migration potential, are very useful in predicting the propensity to international migration.

We come to conclusions that migration potential and the propensity to migrate as a reaction to worsening of the economic conditions at home are highly correlated. The comparative analysis shows that while Poles are quite sensitive to worsening economic conditions at home, Czechs posses lower value of migration potential and therefore are not so inclined to migrations. The results might explain the high volume of migration from Poland after the EU 2004 enlargement.
