“…This assumption, although requiring further evidence, might have important implications for regional and urban policies and highlights the value of regional universities even if they do not excel on the national scale. However, the low out-migration rate of graduates compared to other countries could also be related to a relatively low overall internal mobility in Poland (Maleszyk, Kędra 2020).…”

Human-capital migration and its consequences for regional development are among the central issues discussed in migration and regional literature, while a growing interest has been recently observed in student migration as a driver of brain exchange between regions and countries. Furthermore, poor sending areas are often considered to be severely affected by the brain drain. Nevertheless, firm empirical evidence on the degree of the human-capital selectivity of youth migration is actually scarce due to measurement and methodological limitations. This paper sheds some light on human-capital redistribution across regions and countries by estimating the intensity and human-capital selectivity of youth emigration from poor and peripheral EU areas in Poland. A survey of 10 thousand secondary school graduates allowed an analysis of mobility patterns in relation to school-leaving exam results being a proxy for human capital, as well as to sex, type of school and former place of residence. This study revealed, that roughly 20% of graduates leave their home region, although migration rates across the youth characteristics followed by the results of logit regression model confirm that migration outflows, and particularly interregional moves, are a highly selective phenomenon. With regard to international mobility, student migration is positively selected as well, but economic migration among graduates electing not to continue education turns out to be adversely selected. Overall, the brain drain on EU’s peripheral areas in Poland with respect to the emigration of secondary-school graduates should be regarded as a selective outflow of most talented graduates to the leading academic centres, rather than massive migration of all graduates.

“…Residential satisfaction is defined as “the feeling of contentment when one possesses or achieves what one needs or desires at home and in its neighbourhood” (Maleszyk & Kędra, 2020, p. 342; see also Mohit & Azim, 2012; Speare, 1974). It encompasses both physical and social characteristics of a place (Aksel & Imamoğlu, 2020; Mesch & Manor, 1998), including both community atmosphere and people's involvement and interactions with community members.…”

“…It encompasses both physical and social characteristics of a place (Aksel & Imamoğlu, 2020; Mesch & Manor, 1998), including both community atmosphere and people's involvement and interactions with community members. Following Speare (1974), research has found residential satisfaction to predict intentions to stay (e.g., Fang, 2006; Maleszyk & Kędra, 2020). This relationship is not always straightforward and may be moderated or counteracted by factors such as age, life course changes, work, income, and family considerations (Ginsberg & Churchman, 1984; Landale & Guest, 1985).…”

The salience of family in residential satisfaction and staying in rural communities has been well established. However, the relative importance family in the households and wider networks of family ties remains unclear, as well as the extent to which such associations can be found across the urban–rural continuum. This study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the role of family in residential satisfaction and residential decision‐making processes by distinguishing between satisfied, ambivalent, and dissatisfied stayers in metropolitan and non‐metropolitan areas. Drawing on several large‐scale surveys conducted in Iceland, we use binomial and multinomial logistic regression models to show that both having family in the household and having the closest family in the community predict intentions to stay, net of residential satisfaction. The odds of being a stayer are significantly higher if living with a spouse, with or without children in the household. Interestingly, this effect is found in all non‐metropolitan types of communities but not in the metropolitan Reykjavík capital area. Familial factors relate differently to the odds of being a satisfied, ambivalent, or dissatisfied stayer and vary significantly between urban, exurban, micro‐urban, and farming communities. Living with a spouse and children in the household increases the odds of being a stayer, regardless of residential satisfaction. Living in a household as a couple without the presence of children is only associated with higher odds of being a dissatisfied stayer. Beyond the household, respondents are significantly more likely to be stayers if most or all closest family live in the community, regardless of being a satisfied, ambivalent, or dissatisfied stayer. This is true for all types of communities. These results contribute to the cross‐cultural evidence base and suggest several possible avenues for future research relevant to policy and practice in the field of regional development.

“…The Polish migration policy, including the rules for foreigners' influx, has for many years been in the focus of interest of researchers dealing with the spatial movement of populations (Głąbicka, Okólski, and Stola, 1998;Iglicka et al, 2005;Kaczmarczyk and Okólski, 2008;Duszczyk, 2012;Łodziński and Szonert, 2016). An essential contribution to the resources of knowledge about the migration situation in Poland is also studied addressing the issue of the most current phenomena related to, among other things, Brexit, interregional migration, or the new directions of economic migration (Kisiel, Lizińska, and Rosochacka, 2019;Organiściak-Krzykowska, Piotrowski, and Ciulkin, 2020;Marks-Bielska, 2019;Kowalewska, Nieżurawska-Zając and Duarte, 2019;Maleszyk and Kędra, 2020).…”

Purpose:The primary purpose of the present study was to discuss the most critical legislative corrections and assess them in the context of the migration policy implemented in Poland. Moreover, the article presents and provides the interpretation of data aggregated by the Ministry of Family, Labour, and Social Policy, characterizing the scale of the demand for the short-term foreigners' work. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study presents the results of analyzing the content of legal acts. Moreover, it provides a compilation and interpretation of data aggregated by the Ministry of Family, Labour, and Social Policy, characterizing the scale of the demand for the short-term foreigners' work. Findings: The introduction of a new type of work permit for a foreigner (S-type work permission) and the correction of the so-called simplified procedure are actions that should positively affect the accuracy of measuring the scale of the phenomenon, the level of control over this type of employment, as well as the activity of foreigners coming to Poland in order to provide seasonal work. Practical Implications: There is a concern that the lack of possibility to apply the simplified procedure in some sections of the Polish Classification of Activities may contribute to the undesirable increase in the scale of illegal employment of foreigners in seasonal work. Originality/Value: Demographic aging and the resulting labor force shortages constitute a socio-economic problem contributing to changes in the shape of migration policies in specific countries. In this context, the countries implementing the so-called restrictive migration policy face particular challenges.
