The Social and Educational Situation of Circular Migrants’ Children In Poland
The Social and Educational Situation of Circular Migrants’ Children In Poland

Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to fill in the missing knowledge about children called ‘Euro-orphans’ in the context of relations between the circular migration of their parents, its motives, duration, frequency and forms of contacts with children and the life and school situation of their children. Theoretical frames that identify phenomena in this area have been defined. Educational, social and emotional consequences of Euro-orphanhood for children affecting their presence and future life have been identified and described. These consequences have been analyzed in the light of processes that take place in three environments which are the most important for a child’s socialization, namely the family, school and peer group. Special emphasis has been put on the factors that mediate the relationship between a child’s temporary orphanhood and his/her achievements in various fields of life.
