Life / Why Poles have so pro-emigration attitude? [85]

A one million emigrated to America/Canada, a half million to Australia, a million to UK, and now preparing another million to Germany!

Poland has 40 millions habitants but this millions of emigrants is heavy blow to population in Poland!

I don't get it why is so massive departure to abroad!!
Poland is cohesive nation state without trouble minorities.
Communism is gone 20 years ago.

I mean, I know reason, who has salary in Poland 500 Euro he wants 1500 Euro in abroad and who has 1000 wants 3000 in abroad.

But why this euros is so much important to Poles?
It is not everything in Euros/dollars!!

Life with friends, family, own cultural habit is much more worth than 1000 euros bigger month salary.

I don't know what is fun in Australia's desert or Canada's mountain.

And Antwerpen/Edinburgh/Hamburg are nice places but there nobody likes newcomers because they have seen in those newcomers treat for theirs jobs!

Every european nation has great diaspora, and Germans and Italians, and English, and Spaniards and Poles and Croats.

I don't talking about that.

I'm talking about what's mean 'poor country' and what's mean 'rich country'.

Why on your opinion Poland is 'poor country' and Germany 'rich country'?

Because when there is no work you can't buy anything. many of my wife's friends are university educated and, until recently, weren't able to find decent paying work.

Nowhere in the world university education is not guaranty for the job anymore.

You Poles are similar to us, Croatians: You want house and god car in term of 5 years.

50% Germans and Austrians don't have they own property.
This is one reason why they could have shine cars, gadgets, so much travel on the world.

Poles (as Croatian to) want and big house, and shine car, and gadgets, an the so much travel on the world

The region Slavonia about 1000 euro/m2.

Zagreb and surround about 1500 euro/m2

And very expensive Dalmatia region 2000 euro/m2.

We in Croatia had problem with banks (mostly owned by Italians, German and Austrian 'mother' banks)because their interest rate for housing loan were ekstremly high: 7% or 8%.

And consequence was that many flats were build but unsold.

Our goverment was intervened and forced banks to lowed interest rate to 4%-5%.

Teacher wage in Croatia is about 700 euros.

So, let say teachers a husband and a wife have decision to take the loan for the flat of 100 000 euros (price 1500 euro/m2 is flat about 67 m2).

Monthly rate on 30-years loan would be 500 euros.

Monthly wage of husband and wife 1500 euros.

Monthly rate is 33% of monthly wage.

How about in Poland salaries of teachers and prices of flats?
