This paper is based on a study on the effects of unauthorized migration on Latino children and youth’s access to education, healthcare, and livelihoods. The research project aimed at improving understanding of the many nuanced effects of undocumented status on employment and livelihood prospects of Latino youth. Research involved ethnographic fieldwork in three neighborhoods in the larger Washington, DC metropolitan area: Chirilagua, VA, a neighborhood on the border of Alexandria and Arlington in northern Virginia; Langley Park, MD; and Columbia Heights, in DC. In this article we attempt to explore the circumstances faced by Latino youth as they transition into adulthood and analyze the effects of unauthorized status of the young person or other family members on incentives to work and access to the labor market. We argue that while these youth are often pressured to choose waged employment over education in order to contribute to the family’s income, their lack of legal immigration status is an incentive to stay in school for the relatively safe legal environment it affords. Once the decision to work has been made, or graduation from high school has forced them out of the safety net, the limited options for work available to these youth create difficult decisions wherein some seek work in safe environments for less compensation while others choose more formal, higher-paying positions that come with exposure and high risk.

The article deals with the interweaving relations between two types of social mobility: socio-occupational mobility, understood as the sequencing of an occupational career, and international geographical mobility. The introduction points to methodological challenges in conducting such analyses which demand an interplay of both quantitative and qualitative research approaches. Subsequent sections present both of them. The quantitative perspective facilitates the analysis of the sequence of job positions in Poland and act/s of migration. The occupational careers are divided into two types: stable and changeable. This approach allows for the analysis of occupational careers of migrants in comparison to the careers of the non-migrant population. The second part of the article explains the meaning of migration for the occupational lives of the people involved. This meaning may differ due to the various socio-economic opportunity structures of migrants and their own refl ections on the role of migration in their work life.

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.

The social and geographical mobility, including international migration, interlink and interplay but are approached by different research methods. This article makes an effort to combine these approaches of researching mobility. The studies on social and occupational mobility of migrants may relate to, at least, three dimensions: (1) between sending and receiving countries (a comparison of the pre-departure and during migration socio-occupational positions of migrants); (2) in the receiving country (socio-occupational positions of migrants are compared to those of natives); (3) in the sending country (a comparison of the pre-on-post migration socio-occupational positions of migrants). The article considers the third approach. First part relates to the critical analysis of various approaches of researching social mobility and international mobility. In the following, as based on the nearly two decades of studies of Centre of Migration Research, University of Warsaw, various options of analyses of occupational careers of international migrants have been presented. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches have been taken into account in this article. Therefore, this article made possible an analysis of pros and cons of both approaches and brought an evidence that they complement each other while studying occupational careers of migrants.

Using a gravity model, this article explores the determinants driving stocks of international migrants from developing countries in Czechia and in Slovakia. It presents an overview of international migration to both countries between the years 2006 and 2015 including the major countries of origin. It also proposes a brief discussion of different migration theories that can be used to explain the number of international migrants in both destinations. The gravity model used throughout the study includes four groups of explanatory variables: standard gravity variables, economic, institutional and those that approximate mutual relationships. The results show that the number of migrants in both destinations increases with higher GDP per capita and population in the countries of origin. Furthermore, mutual links such as trade or distance between the destinations and the countries of origin are significant as well. While only developing countries were selected for this analysis, this model provides a useful exploratory tool that can help with further analyses of migration flows to different countries and regions.

Celem artykułu jest ocena wpływu migracji zagranicznych na rozwój regionalny. Analiza szerokich i złożonych implikacji wyjazdów zagranicznych obejmuje wymiar ekonomiczny, demograficzny oraz społeczno-kulturowy i jednocześnie pozytywny oraz negatywny aspekt tego zjawiska. Wyniki badań wskazują, że ocena migracji zagranicznych w kategoriach szans i zagrożeń dla rozwoju polskich regionów – mimo, iż niejednoznaczna – właściwie stawia współczesne wyjazdy i ich skutki w świetle zagrożeń rozwojowych. Oznacza to, że takie pozytywne aspekty migracji jak transfer dochodów z zagranicznej pracy i wzrost poziomu życia rodzin migranckich nie rekompensują strat ludnościowych oraz ubytków w zasobach pracy, a zwłaszcza odpływu osób młodych, w wieku prokreacji i przedsiębiorczych. Należy jednak zauważyć, że ocena wpływu migracji zagranicznych na rozwój regionalny i lokalny posiada związek z ich krótko- bądź długookresowym charakterem. O ile pierwsze oceniane są jako korzystne z punktu widzenia problemów na rynku pracy, zwłaszcza w warunkach dekoniunktury i wysokiego bezrobocia, o tyle długotrwały odpływ ludności istotnie zagraża procesom reprodukcji ludności i ujemnie wpływa na rozwój. Z pola widzenia nie powinno zatem umykać wyzwanie tworzenia sprzyjających warunków ekonomiczno-społecznych oraz instytucjonalno-prawnych, które mogłyby zachęcić większą grupę emigrantów do powrotu.

The article aims at assessing the impact of international migration on regional development. The analyses of the broad and complex implications of international migration include the economic, demographic, and socio-cultural dimension, and both the positive and negative aspects of this phenomenon. The research results indicate that the assessment of international migration in terms of opportunities and threats for the development of Polish regions – although somewhat ambiguous – in fact puts contemporary international mobility and its consequences in light of the risks for development. This means that the positive aspects of migration (i.e. remittances from employment abroad and improved living standards of migrant families) do not compensate the population decline and labor force losses, and the related significant reduction of regional demand. This concerns in particular the outflow of young people, at the age of procreation, who are usually entrepreneurial. It should be noted however, that the assessment of the impact of migration on regional and local development largely depends on its character: short-term migration is considered beneficial, while long-term migration is strongly negative. Although the former is rated as beneficial from the perspective of the problems of the regional labor market, especially in the context of a recession and high unemployment, the latter endangers population reproduction processes and negatively affects development. Therefore, taking into account the conditioning of regional development by foreign migration, the creation of favorable economic, social, institutional, and legal conditions to encourage a greater number of emigrants to return is a crucial challenge.

In this article the remittance behavior of Polish immigrants to the UK and Ireland is studied. Macro and micro datasets allow to observe this phenomenon from both global and individual perspective. The magnitude of remittances is shown in the first part of the paper. In the second part, theories explaining motivations to remit are presented. This is followed by empirical analysis of decision to remit (who is more probable to remit?) and size of transfers (who will remit more?) on the example of Polish migrants to the UK and Ireland.

This article addresses three main issues: in the first instance it focuses on the scrutiny of the ideal concept of the world-system theory and theory of trans-national migration – two concepts which are inseparable. Secondly, it discusses the potential linkages and correlations between international migration and the ideas of a key figure of world system school – American sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein. In the last case it aspires to outline working hypothesis, which emerges from the development of contemporary capitalist world economy (form of global socio-economic order) as well as types of contemporary migration. For this purpose author analyses effects of hierarchical space structure and also effects of cyclical economic dynamics of world economy on contemporary migration. Article leads to a development of a new model of time-space structure, which determines forms of international migration; i.e. new deductive-nomological model of contemporary international migration.

The study gives attention to the general characteristics of the international population migration with special focus on intercontinental migration from Africa to the European Union. Based on recent events on Lampedusa Island, in Malta and on the Greek islands, the author draws attention to the growing concern of the general public about the African “march” on Europe. He analyses the impacts of migration and argues that migration brings a large number of problems to European countries that fundamentally influence the politics of liberal-democratic nation-states and leads to the diversification and radicalisation of politics in Europe.

During the years of transformation after 1989 the Czech Republic began to be incorporated into the structures of international institutions and became opened to the influences of the processes of globalization. In this context international labour migration occurred as a new possibility in career of Czech citizens. From some perspectives the migration is seen as a mean of de-standardization of career. This article analyzes the relation of international workforce mobility and de-standardization of career. Based on qualitative in-depth interviews with current migrants, the article shows how international migration influences individual phases (leaving parental home, completing education, entering labour market, marriage and parenthood) of the process of transition to adulthood.

Artykuł omawia międzynarodowe adopcje jako zjawisko migracyjne. Przedstawiono trendy, kierunki i zmiany w międzynarodowych adopcjach na początku XXI wieku, ich uwarunkowania (społeczne, demograficzne, polityczne i prawne), a także główne wątki w dyskusji wokół międzynarodowych adopcji i ich specyfiki. Ujęcie adopcji międzynarodowych jako ruchów migracyjnych daje możliwość wielowymiarowego spojrzenia na globalne nierówności i przepływ dzieci między granicami państw narodowych. Z jednej strony pozwala na wskazanie tych wszystkich czynników, które sprzyjają pojawieniu się ruchów migracyjnych wraz z ich odniesieniem do nierównej pozycji i redystrybucji zasobów migrantów. Z drugiej strony wzbogaca wiedzę na temat migracji o specyfikę zjawiska adopcji wraz z jej istotnym odniesieniem do sytuacji najmłodszych migrantów.

The article discusses international adoptions as a migratory process. It presents contemporary trends, destinations, and changes in international adoptions worldwide at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the factors (social, demographic, political, and legal) behind the process, and the key issues in the academic debate around international adoptions and their specificity. Interpreting international adoptions through migratory lens provides the opportunity to look at global inequalities and the flow of children across international borders in a comprehensive manner. On the one hand, all factors behind migration flows can be distinguished, including those referring to the unequal position and redistribution of migrants’ resources. On the other hand, it deepens our degree of understanding of migrations by encompassing adoptions and the situation of children.

Ze względu na fakt, że wysoko wykwalifikowanych imigrantów uważa się za źródło cennego know- -how i rozprzestrzeniania się wiedzy, artykuł skupia się na korzyściach wynikających z międzynarodowej mobilności wynalazców z perspektywy innowacyjności polskiej gospodarki, która mierzona jest liczbą wynalazków. Na podstawie analizy międzynarodowych zgłoszeń patentowych stwierdzono, że 12% produktu wynalazczego Polski z lat 2004–2018 stanowiły rozwiązania techniczne tworzone przez cudzoziemców, głównie obywateli Niemiec, a w dalszej kolejności Francji i Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki.

This study pays attention to the phenomenon of international migration of the population from Asia and Africa to Europe, or more precisely to the European Union and attempts to point out that this is a category that brings a large number of problems to the political systems of European countries. In the case of population movement we can speak not only about the negatives, as the topic is presented in the current socio-political discourse, but we can also talk about the positives and benefits for receiving and sending countries. Positives and negatives are fundamentally influencing the policy of liberal-democratic nation states and this phenomenon is the cause of radicalisation and diversification of the policy in the European area.
