Human capital is one of the factors which impact one’s occupational life. On the one hand, having gone abroad, migrants are not always able to utilise the non-pecuniary capital accumulated in Poland prior to migration. On the other hand, during their stay abroad migrants can obtain various types of capital, including human capital in the form of knowledge, skills and competencies. This capital can impact their occupational life after return. However, this impact is conditioned by various factors, both structural and individual. As demonstrated through the analyses of the life histories of Polish return migrants, the transferability and employability of capital acquired abroad highly depends on the opportunity structures migrants face upon return. According to migrants, the capital transferred to Poland is rarely connected to specifi c occupational skills obtained abroad, but more often to social competencies which facilitate their operating in the, usually harsher, Polish labour market.
