The influence of economic migration on the Polish economy

Abstract

This essay will deal with four issues that are important for a discussion on economic migration to Poland. First, we show the demographic patterns that will mark the labor market for the next few decades. Secondly, against this background we discuss the patterns of labor supply in Poland, with particular attention to barriers and the groups affected by them. After the barriers we reach the third important aspect: how well the Polish labor market functions. This third aspect is important insofar as the literature on the experiences of countries that accept immigrants suggests a specific pattern: Immigrants usually begin flowing into a country to plug a gap in the labor market, but with the exception of a few countries, this process does not take place on a scale sufficient to mitigate the unfavorable phenomena (including legal regulations and other institutional conditions). Fourth, the scale is usually too small for this to viably influence the longstanding domestic trends.
