Polish girls are probably the biggest ****** on the face of the planet
If you dont mind, British girls have that title! :D Or did ;0)
I think you're being unfair, it'll be a minory rather than the majority.
employment of teachers due to the shrinking population.
They should think themselves lucky, England is expected to grow to twice its size in the not too distance future! The vast majority of babies born are unfortunately to none British (English, Irish, Scots & Welsh) mothers...Sad :(
The population is showing signs of aging and the low level of births isn't helping. Nevermind, there's always 1,000,000 that can come back and redress the balance ;) ;)

Seanus,
I thought I read that Poles in England and Ireland are having proportionally more kids then elsewhere. Do you know anything about that?
So I wouldnt say Polands population was as small as it seems - maybe Poles are not having as many babies, but there will be others making up for that :D
I will make a prediction that in the next decade or so a lot of Poles will return to Poland to start up business and work. I don't see Poland becoming a refugee country. America, Canada and the UK are not that great anymore.
Unless that purchase has already been made. Shelter does not need to be repurchased every generation. This is obvious based on debt free home ownership rates in Poland.
Plus, what capitalist society? The Polish government (like most CEE governments) provides subsidies and government housing to people that can't afford, or don't own their property.
It will be a big problem in the future according to demographic trends. As long as we don't become desensitised to one another in terms of male/female. Japan (yup, again) has this problem and prn has really meant that they have lost real contact and are having far fewer babies. Then again, they have 126 million people so hardly alarm bells.
PO seem to provide a reasonable package for those that choose to have children but Poland needs to snap out of the mentality of 2000PLN is a great salary. When they start expecting a bit more and being more ambitious, things can change.
actually, I was thinking of the Ukrainians. Vietnamese come here, for the most part, legally. They do well because they have good work ethic and they tend to stick in their communities.
The Canadian number is a bit off. Also, does this number include those with dual citizenship?
And many of them are still illegal. I know one kid who was born in Poland to parents who were both born in Poland and have never left Poland for even a single day: the kid is not entitled to a Polish passport and it's highly debatable as to whether he is even entitled to live here.
My daughters best friend is a Polish born Vietnamese girl. She speaks three languages and her parents own a shop in Warsaw- they came over about 15 years ago. Very good work ethic.
because the Polish citizenship law is not governed by the 'rule of the land' (ius soli/prawo ziemi) but by the 'rule of blood' (ius sanguini/prawo krwi) unlike nationality law in the UK or the US
a child born to foreigners in Poland does not automatically receive Polish citizenship - (I guess this even applies when they are residents)
His parents are not legal residents and so can not naturalise as Polish citizens. Poland uses jus sanguinis for citizenship, not jus soli (i.e. it doesn't matter whether you are born in Poland or not, it matters only whether your parents were Polish citizens). This is how it is possible for somebody to be a Polish citizen despite never having been to Poland and their parents never having been to Poland but it is possible for somebody else to not qualify for Polish citizenship despite having never left Poland and their parents having never left Poland.
well actually he wouldn't have become a Polish citizen automatically even if his parents were legal permanent residents but weren't holding Polish citizenship - but the child would be entitled to naturalization then (as well as his parents)
I've just read parts of the newest nationality/citizenship law of 2010 - from what I gather all children born in Poland since April 2010 receive Polish citizenship automatically
strange
there may be further strange things that the new law implies
