One of the problems is the phenomenon of migration which is specially severe in this part of thecountry.

Considering the fact that migration is a complex phenomenonwhich is characterized by numerous aspects, the issues presented in the article concerningmigration processes in Eastern Poland, do not exhaust the matter entirely.
