Systematic literature review on the decomposition of retirement pathways
Purpose This systematic literature review maps and critically synthesises the fragmented research on the decomposition of retirement pathways. It aims to clarify concepts, compare methodological approaches and establish a foundation for understanding retirement as a de-standardised, multi-phase transition. Design/methodology/approach Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched Web of Science, Scopus and EBSCO databases, identifying 60…
Beyond Initial Boundaries
Since the 2004 European Union enlargement, the United Kingdom has seen a significant influx of Polish migrants, many of whom initially found employment in low-skilled roles due to their immediate availability and low entry barriers. This study explores the career changes of young adult Polish migrants in the UK over the past two decades. Using data from British public statistics – the Annual Population Survey (APS) and in-depth interviews – we co…
Young migrants, “integration” and the local
This article examines the complexities of integrating young adult migrants from non-EU countries into European contexts, advocating for a shift toward inclusive, locally informed, and reciprocal integration processes. It critiques state-centric, assimilationist frameworks that emphasize an imagined national identity and Western norms of youth transitions, neglecting local nuances and diverse migrant experiences. Through findings from a European D…
Acquiring intangible remittances for Ukraine by female war migrants
This article—part of the Special Issue on “(In)tangible Remittances and Inequalities”—investigates the acquisition of social remittances by Ukrainian female war migrants in Poland. It focuses on how these women leverage various resources—human, psychological, social, and economic—to potentially contribute to Ukraine’s development during the ongoing conflict with Russia since February 2022 and in the eventual post-conflict period. This wave of Ukr…
Deinstitutionalization of support for people with disabilities in Poland
Deinstitutionalization (DI) is a key concept in disability policy in Poland. Despite its dominant role in long-term care, DI is controversial in terms of its effectiveness and implementation. This article assesses the DI implementation process in Poland from the perspective of neo-institutionalism and institutional change. The article is based on qualitative research, conducted as part of the DI diagnosis project in Poland. The article identifies…
Return migration and embedding
This introductory paper, reflecting the Thematic Cluster of four papers, brings together two themes that are important for migration studies: return migration and embedding. Beyond any simplistic assumptions of settlement and permanent integration back into the origin country, following return, or notions of ongoing unfettered mobility back and forth over time, this article knits together data from the cluster papers, focusing on Lithuania and Po…
Tacit Skills of Return Migrants to Poland and Lithuania from the UK
Resilience Embedded in Psychological Capital of Ukrainian Refugees in Poland
By this article we want to say that we still know very little about the migration of war refugees from Ukraine as the process has been happening massively before our eyes. This article contributes to the vast literature on refugees. Firstly, it presents a new non-Western perspective because Ukrainian refugees move predominately from Eastern to Central Europe. Secondly, it discusses the resilience of refugees, which we systematically embedded into…
Societal dangers of migrant crisis narratives with a special focus on Belarussian and Ukrainian borders with Poland
Society in the 21st century has experienced a variety of crises, from the fiscal crisis and the migration crisis to the pandemic and the inflation crisis. This paper aims to explore societal dangers of migrant crises narratives. This paper forms part of the Horizon 2020 MIMY research projects with an expert stakeholder Delphi study from seven European countries: Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Luxembourg, Sweden and the UK. It takes also into ac…
Your heart is where your roots are? Place attachment and belonging among Polish and Lithuanian returnees
The reintegration of return migrants has been an important issue in migration studies for several decades. While much research has been done to identify returnees’ strategies and their labour market situation in their country of origin, little attention has been devoted to their attachment, especially in quantitative studies. This paper seeks to address this gap, analysing predictors of place attachment and belonging among Polish and Lithuanian r…
Migration and the Transfer of Informal Human Capital
This book explores the intangible human capital which international migrants bring with them and develop further when working and living abroad, drawing on case studies and original data from Central Europe and Mexico–USA. The book demonstrates that despite the fact that many international migrants might be working in their destination countries at a level below their formal qualifications, or else might be formally unskilled, but with practical …
Individual quality of life and the environment – towards a concept of livable areas for persons with disabilities in Poland
The results illustrate the need to strengthen policies aimed at promoting the QoL of persons with disabilities by creating access to community assets and services that can contribute to improving the life chances of this population
(Dis)ordered social sequences of mobile young adults
International mobility has become a significant part of the life experiences of a growing number of Polish youths since the enlargement of the EU in 2004, influencing young people’s transitions from education to work or transitions across different labour markets. The key aim of this paper is to explore socio-occupational sequences of young people considering spatial and temporal dynamism of the process of mobility. Focusing on the intersection b…
The impact of migration on human capacities of two generations of Poles
The article explains the impact of working and living abroad on informal human capital of two generations of Poles: the 'Generation of Change' who was born in 1970s and the beginning of 1980s and the 'Generation of Migration' who was born in mid-1980s and at the beginning of 1990s. Our contribution to this Special Issue brings the umbrella concept of human capacities with the interplay of its individual (cognitive and intrapersonal) and social (i…
The 2004 EU Enlargement as an Outcome of Public Policies

It is presented on the fifteenth anniversary of the biggest historical EU enlargement with a disclaimer that economic and social changes are still enduring. The aim of this article is to explain the interlinked economic and social impacts of EU enlargements on CEE sending countries relat…
Social Skills, Workplaces and Social Remittances
This article examines how the social skills of migrants are moulded in workplaces and employment-related situations. It surveys literature on social skills, workplaces, social remittances and relational learning. It devotes attention to destination workplaces as spaces where people who left their comfort zones experience disjuncture between origin and destination. This can bring insights, noticing differences and making comparisons. On return to …

The Transition from Education to Employment Abroad
This article examines the subject of the transition from education to the labour market among young people moving directly from education in Poland to first jobs abroad. With free labour mobility in the European Union (EU), there are now more options for transitions into adulthood, including working abroad. This study uses mainly qualitative empirical material with some contextual quantitative data to examine the characteristics of young people w…
Social remittances and intra-EU mobility
The massive rise in intra-European Union (EU) mobility in recent decades has spawned several important social and cultural phenomena that are still not covered by academic research. Social remittances – the transfer of ideas, practices, codes of behaviours, values and norms between the place of origin and destination are an important aspect of social change and modernity and they are still to be explored and documented. However, not all migrants …

Labour Market Behaviours of Back‐and‐Forth Migrants From Poland
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, Poland became the main sending country in Central Europe. Despite the lack of institutional barriers to settling in member states of the European Union since 2004, many Polish migrants continued to undertake temporary labour mobility including repetitive, back‐and‐forth moves. This article examines the relationship between migrants' back‐and‐forth international mobility and their activity in the labour market o…
On the Differential Attachments of Migrants from Central and Eastern Europe
In this article we develop an empirically grounded typology of labour migration patterns among migrants from Central and Eastern Europe, based on two dimensions: attachment to the destination country and attachment to the country of origin. We conducted a survey (N=654) among labour migrants in the Netherlands from Poland, Bulgaria and Romania. We found four migration patterns in our data: (i) circular migrants (mostly seasonal workers) with weak…
Migrations from Poland after 1 May 2004 with Special Focus on British Isles
The enlargement of the European Union (EU) of 2004 was a major watershed in the post-1989 migration patterns of Polish workers, mainly for the sake of opening the new labour markets within the EU. Thus, the paper is going to answer the questions concerning the possible changes and continuities in the international migrations from Poland; the decisive factors while choosing the destination; and the factors facilitating the entry to a given sector …
Changes in the International Mobility of Labour
This paper, based on the case study of job migration from Poland to Ireland, is focused on changes in the international mobility of labour. The study is undertaken with a broad term of reference: (a) to consider factors of changes in the international mobility of labour in a macro-sphere; (b) to examine the social and personal factors which might motivate individuals to migrate; (c) to ascertain socio-demographic characteristics of those who migr…
