POLAND HAS LOST 1 MILLION PEOPLE (for other EU countries) [30]
Discuss.
More than one million Poles who left their homeland for other countries in the EU after 2004 won't come back to Poland, a local newspaper has written.
Poles are reportedly succeeding abroad: improving their education and opening their own businesses. And they don't see any changes in Poland that would encourage them to return.
As a result, Poland's Central Statistical Office will have to revise its data: there are 37 million, as opposed to 38.2 million inhabitants in Poland, Dziennik Gazeta Prawna writes.
Economic migration has also created an important demand for legal and consulting services for Poles who want to know how to start their own businesses. Although in 2004, a lot of Poles took on jobs for which they were overqualified, increasing numbers are now branching out and starting their own businesses.
Poland is s'crewed. And here I was thinking about moving back to Poland.
