After Poland joined the EU in 2004, over 2 million Poles emigrated to Western European countries like the UK, Germany, and Ireland, primarily to find better work opportunities. This mass emigration of Poles abroad for work since EU accession has been the largest such movement since the late 19th/early 20th century emigration to the US. Majority of Polish migrants are young and well-educated. By the 2010s, the emigration trend had started to decrease as economic conditions improved and Polish salaries rose to 70% of the EU average.

3. Migrations from Poland since EU accession
Since the fall of Communism in 1989, the
nature of migration to and from Poland has
been in flux. After Poland's accession to the
European Union and accession to the
Schengen Area in particular, a significant
number of Poles, estimated at over two
million, have emigrated, primarily to the
United Kingdom, Germany, France and
Ireland. The majority of them, according to
the Central Statistical Office of Poland left in
search of better work opportunities abroad
while retaining permanent resident status in
Poland itself.
5. After Poland joined the EU...
After Poland joined the EU, Poles acquired the right to work
in some EU countries, while some of the members
implemented transition periods. UK, Ireland, Sweden and
Malta allowed Poles to work freely without any limitations
from the start. Peaking in 2007, almost 2.3 million Poles lived
abroad,[1] mostly in Western Europe. This has been the
largest wave of economic migration of Poles abroad since
the Polish emigration to the United States in late 19th and
early 20th century, which is estimated to have brought
between about 1.5 million,[3][4] and 3.5 million Poles to the
United States.
6. In late 19th and early 20th century lots of Poles emigrated to:
7. Numbers of Polish
Emigration of Poles, relatively modest in the first
decade or so after the fall of communism in
1989,[6] increased significantly in the late 1990s,
with the share of emigrants in the overall Polish
population growing from 0.5% (~100,000) in 1998
to 2.3% (~600,000) in 2008.The percentage of
young people attending university has also
increased dramatically since 1989 resulting in a
'brain overflow' by the time Poland joined the
European Union in 2004. The number of young
adults speaking English doubled in just one
decade between 1996 and 2008.
9. Polish migrants are increasingly likely to be young and
well-educated
According to a 2013 survey, approximately 14%
percent of adult Poles have worked abroad
since 2004 (approximately a quarter for over a
year); 69% have a family member of a close
friend who lives abroad, and approximately 24%
are open to immigration. Majority of Polish
migrants or those considering leaving are
young; according to a 2014 survey
approximately 90% of Poles under 34 have
considered some form of migration. Over the
past decade or so, there has been a visible
trend that migrants are increasingly likely to be
young and well-educated. According to poll from
2007 for around 29% of Polish emigrants their
job abroad is the first job they had in life.
10. Majority of Polish migrants or those considering leaving are young or middle aged?
11. Where Polish emigrants settle
As of 2013, the largest group of modern Polonia
can be found in the United Kingdom (550,000),[17]
followed by that in Germany (425,608).,[5]in
France (350,000 as of 2012),[17]Significant Polish
presence can also be found in Ireland (115, 000
as of 2013), in Italy (94,000 as of 2011), in the
Netherlands (103,000 as of 2013), and.[5] As of
2011, the largest groups of recent Polish
emigrants Poles outside EU were those in the
United States (243,000) and in Canada
(52,000).[10] The number of Poles in Norway,
itself not an EU member, has significantly
increased recently (from 43,000 in 2011 to 71,000
as of 2013).
13. Different emigration patterns in regions of Poland
Different regions of Poland have significantly
different emigration patterns; as of 2011 the
voivodeships of Poland with the highest number
of emigrants were the Opole Voivodeship
(10.6%), Podlaskie Voivodeship (9.1%),
Podkarpackie Voivodeship(8.4%) and
Warmińsko-mazurskie Voivodeship (7.5%),
contrasted with much smaller emigration
percentage from Mazowieckie Voivodeship
(2.8%), Łódzkie Voivodeship (2.9%) and
Wielkopolskie Voivodeship (3.1%).] Overall, the
emigration is higher in the poorer, eastern region
of Poland.
14. The emigration is higher in the eastern or western region of Poland ?
15. Consequences
There are concerns about the effect of long term immigration patt
erns on the demographics of Poland, such as depopulation of
regions that do not attract young people.[10]
Positive consequences of the migration include gains in skills
and familiarity with global culture.[10] Estimates also suggest that
the emigration raised wages for those workers who stayed
behind, contributing about 11% of total wage growth between
1998-2007.[23] The migration has also been associated with
lowering of unemployment in Poland and remittances of
approximately 41 billion euros in the Polish economy.
With better economic conditions and Polish salaries at 70% of
the EU average in 2016, the emigration trend started to decrease
in the 2010s.

17. Reasons for working abroad
Primary reasons for the migration are economic. It
has disproportionately affected young Poles, in their
20s and 30s. Reasons for the migration include
higher wages offered abroad, and the difficult
situation of young people in the Polish labor
marketd, related to the increase in levels of
unemployment during the global Great Recession of
2008. Due to a large increase in the number of Poles
attending universities after the fall of communism,
the supply of educated workers exceeded the
domestic demand and as a result many young Poles
migrated to the west.
18. There was a large increase in the number of Poles attending universities after the fall of
communism. True or false?
19. According to a survey conducted in 2011, 33% of those questioned pointed
to higher wages as motivation for emigration and 31% to unemployment,
with 3% stating professional development and 16% declaring family
reasons.
