Migrations have accompanied humankind for hundreds of years. The journeys made to “pursue bread” as the Polish put it, have been ingrained in historical and social processes taking place on both regional and global scales. Decisions to relocate are frequently underpinned by economic reasons, but political, religious, social or climatic reasons can also be factors. These decisions are taken by adults, but their scope and effects also extend to children. The challenges that these children face come in the form of problems with adaptation, education, and the priority of values, oftentimes - loneliness, a lack of close relations, and a reduced sense of security during their stay in foreign environments. The refugee situation is a specific case and a challenge for children. The aim of this article is to highlight the problem of the integration/assimilation of Ukrainian children in Poland who have arrived here as a result of their parents' informed migration decisions, as well as those who have ended up here as a consequence of the war that Russia has been waging against Ukraine since 24th February 2022.

The area of collaboration in migration policy begins to play more and more important role among many facets of European integration. It emerges of a conflict of two types of pressures existing and working in opposite directions within European societies and economies. On the one hand, EU member states suffer from an unsound demographic condition, low natural population growth rate and decreasing supply of labour force. On the other hand, we have to deal with resentment of majority of the EU citizens to “aliens” which has been strictly relatedwith terrorist attacks raids against New York, Madrid and London. Where should we reach, then, to make up the labour force deficit? Temporarily, old EU states have found a source of immigrants from the new members. This allows them to postpone the problem of supporting the way their economies and social systems work. The Author analyses situation in an emigration country (Poland), benefits and costs of migration, the problem of emigrants’ identity, their integration or alienation in host societies as well as attempts to answer the question about mechanisms of emigrants’ returns to their countries of origin. It is the market that acts as the simplest and most effective regulator. This, however, must not be regarded as delivering the states from an obligation to apply for indirect measures. Democratic societies are and indeed have to be free from restrictions, either administrative or legal, to free movement of people, even where this involves negative consequences for an emigration country. However, as we learn from experiences of such countries as Ireland, improving condition, economic growth and raised living standards in migrant workers’ home countries act as very efficient brake to an outflow of labour force. Other factors playing important roles in this context, beside economic one, include the element of life quality, social infrastructure as well as an offer in the areas of skills improvement and leisure. In fact, all these factors jointly contribute to either remain in one’ country or to come back in the case of those who left it in the first place.
