This paper analyses Poles’ return from emigration from an empirical perspective. It also discusses the difficulties involved in research on return migrants. Firstly, there is no single definition of a return migrant which would be binding for all countries; secondly, many countries do not keep statistics on returnees. Hence, research on return migration concentrates on purposive samples which may indicate certain types of phenomena, strategies and problems within the analysed group, but do not allow generalization. The paper presents the results of a quantitative survey carried out in five cities, viz. Warsaw, Poznań, Gdańsk, Rzeszów and Katowice, on a group of 200 return migrants (40 in each of the above locations). The survey was conducted in Spring 2010. The respondents were selected using snowball sampling.

Migration outflow from Poland observed since 2004, both temporary and settlement, is one of the biggest waves of migration Poland has experienced throughout the postwar period. Since 2004 destination countries for Polish migrants have also changed. Before accession to the EU, Germany was the dominant first choice, with the United States in the second place. Following the enlargement of the European Union and opening of labor markets to Poles by some EU-15 economies, the United Kingdom found itself a strong leader among destination countries for Polish migrants, whereas the U.S. dropped to the fifth place. The results presented below relate to labor migration from Poland to the UK. The research presented here is the first quantitative research conducted in the UK by researchers from Poland on the legally working community. It took place in London in autumn 2007. The questionnaire was used on a purposive sample of 636 respondents.

The current text is to some extent a continuation of ideas contained in my article for Polityka Społeczna no 1/2013, but I add my reflections connected with the fact that in the last four years we have not succeeded in stopping emigration from Central and Eastern Europe which exacerbated negative demographic trends. In addition, the migration crisis changed the perspective on immigration of newcomers from different cultures as an easy instrument stopping the adverse population changes. Hence, the author discusses models and instruments of economic and social policy that should stop the emigration of young Polish people to the West and provide them with incentives to come back.

Artykuł jest do pewnego stopnia kontynuacją idea zawartych w artykule autorki opublikowanym w numerze 1 „Polityki Społecznej” z 2013 r. Sformułowane są w nim jednak nowe przemyślenia, oparte na wynikach badań, związane z faktem, iż w przeciągu czterech ostatnich lat nie udało się zahamować emigracji z regionu Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej, co pogłębiło niekorzystne tendencje demograficzne, a kryzys imigracyjny zmienił perspektywę dotyczącą imigracji przybyszy z innych kultur jako łatwego instrumentu hamującego niekorzystne zmiany ludnościowe. Dlatego też w artykule rozważane są takie modele i instrumenty polityki ekonomicznej oraz społecznej, które zahamują emigracje młodych Polaków oraz stworzą bodźce do powrotów.

This paper examines migratory movements into Poland with a special emphasis on refugee mobility. In the past twenty years, almost 90 000 Chechen refugees have come to Poland, as it was the first safe country they reached. According to the Office for Foreigners data they constituted approximately 90 per cent of applicants for refugee status, 38 per cent of persons granted refugee status, 90 per cent of persons granted ‘tolerated status’ and 93 per cent of persons granted ‘subsidiary protection status’. However, a peculiarity of the Polish situation, confirmed by official statistics and research, is that refugees treat Poland mainly as a transit country. The author focuses on the issue of integrating Chechen refugee children into the Polish education system, as well as Chechen children granted international protection or waiting to be granted such protection. The results of the study suggest that Polish immigration policy has no impact on the choice of destination of the refugees that were interviewed. None of the interviewees wanted to return to Chechnya, nor did they perceive Poland as a destination country. Children with refugee status, which enables them to stay legally in the Schengen area, ‘disappear’ not only from the Polish educational system but from Poland as a whole as well. This phenomenon hampers the possibility of achieving educational success when working with foreign children, and it challenges the immense efforts by Polish institutions to integrate refugee children into the school and the local community. Both official statistical data and research results were used in this paper.
