Babica is a village located in the Province of Podkarpacie. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the emigration from this village to the United States took a considerable size. In the Interwar Period, research on this phenomenon was conducted in Babica by a Polish sociologist Krystyna Duda-Dziewierz. She presented the conclusions of her studies in the book: The Village of Malopolska and the American Emigration.. First migration streams flowing from Babica were dominated by men. The role of women was mainly limited to the companion feature, designed to deal with the house in the destination country. Present emigration from this village is characterized by the growing rate of feminization. Nowadays, the predominance of women can be easily observed among contemporary emigrants from Babica to the United States. These are mainly long-term migrations. Mainly due to the nature of work in the U.S., migrants leave their children in Poland. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of migration on children left behind, taking into account mainly: 1) the length of their parents’ stay abroad, 2) the emigration of one or both parents, 3) the status of caregivers of children, and an attempt to determine their position in the social structure.

Poland's accession to the European Union on the 1st May 2004 will not put an end to our problems but it will mark the beginning of profound changes. These changes will also involve thinking and acting in long-term perspective. The lack of a clear and precise strategy for the development of the village and rural territories, taking into account both the specificity of Poland and the interests of Polish farmers, may make it difficult to take full advantage of the civilisational impulse for the Polish economy in the form of Poland's integration with the European Union.
