Migration Passage in Poland

Summary/Abstract: Between the years 1950–2020 abroad migrations in Europe underwent significant changes. One of the most characteristic features of this process was the act that migration balance changed from negative to positive. In this respect, up to the beginning of the 21st century Poland belonged to the minority of European countries: it experienced potent emigration, while immigration was scant. However, the migrant situation in Poland has changed: in the second decade of the 21st century, the outflow of populace has weakened and the migration balance has become positive. The paper analyses these phenomena from the theoretical perspective of migration passage, which became a common experience of the majority of countries in Western, Northern and Southern Europe in the second half of the 20th century. It attempts to answer the question whether the most recent migrant experiences justify the thesis of its existence in the Polish context as well.
