Poland has recently transitioned to a net immigration country due to significant emigration
since its EU accession in 2004 and an aging population. Many Polish citizens have emigrated,
leading to labour market gaps that migrants, particularly from Ukraine, have begun to fill. Key
established migration skill corridors to Poland are from Eastern Europe – especially Ukraine,
Belarus, Moldova, and Georgia – and emerging skill corridors can be identified from Asia,
particularly India and the Philippines. The presence of skilled migrants in Poland highlights the
need for a comprehensive migration, labour market and integration policy in Poland.
