Migrations Yesterday and Today. Issues of Pre- and Post-Accession Migration from Poland

Summary/Abstract: The most significant aim of this article is to present the issue of migration as a complex, multi-faceted and widespread phenomenon known to Poles for an extended time. The migration typology is presented with particular emphasis on pre- and post-accession migration, also called old migration and new migration in order to show significant differences in defining old and new migrations. In addition, the author attempts to illustrate the history of migration from Poland which is not an innovative social issue other than a strategy through which people have constantly sought to solve the problems and risks accompanying their lives. Recent years have been the “steep streams” of migration of Polish citizens primarily due to the accession of our country into the European Union on 1st May 2004 as well as after the ratification of the Schengen Treaty – undoubtedly facilitated the movement of Poles.
