Summary/Abstract: Daily interaction between the neighboring small settlements covers over 400 000 labour migrants from all municipalities and affects most of the settlements. The time spent in travelling is over 500,000 hours per day.The demographic and economic crises, structural changes in the economy caused strong territorial imbalance in available jobs and the supply of labour in small depopulated settlements and municipalities. They are without any investments to create jobs. The only realistic alternative for unemployed person in such places is to seeking job outside of the settlement.The change of place of residence needed additional finance costs for housing. It is too hard for most of the job seekers and the daily labour migration is the only realistic alternative for them. The application of daily migration, however, is difficult because of the low pay of migrants and relatively high transport costs.It is necessary to subsidy daily labour migration on the principle of shared social responsibility by the corporations, local government and state administration.Development and optimization of daily labour migration require adequate policies to reduce the time and cost of travel, and to improve the conditions of travel. These policies should be shared social responsibility of the corporations, local government and public administration.Every day labour migration is necessary, though it is not sufficient condition for a flexible and efficient functioning of the labour market. It increases employment and reduces the structural deficit of the workforce. In the same time it reduces unwanted emigration and supports the small settlements.
