From Enthusiasm to Polarisation: A Generational Perspective on Attitudes Toward Ukrainian Refugees in Poland
This study explores generational differences in Polish public attitudes towards Ukrainian refugees, focusing on how these attitudes evolved between 2022 and 2025. It examines the role of age in shaping acceptance of refugees, perceptions of Poland's preparedness, evaluations of assistance, and views on the possibility of refugees settling permanently after the war. The analysis is based on four waves of nationally distributed online surveys (tota…
Same Country, Different Journeys: Ukrainian Voluntary Versus Forced Migrants in Poland
Poland has emerged as one of the primary destinations for Ukrainian refugees, with ~953,000 forced migrants from Ukraine residing in the country as of May 2024. This paper examines the differences in labour market integration between Ukrainian voluntary migrants and forced migrants in Poland, comparing their situations from 2022 to 2024. The analysis is based on three quantitative surveys conducted in 2022, 2023 and 2024. The article compares the…
Participatory, Project-Based Approach to Migrant Employment Research: Engaging Entrepreneurs Through Social Innovation
Qualitative research with entrepreneurs employing migrant workers poses significant challenges, particularly in recruiting respondents willing to discuss sensitive topics. This study explores an innovative method to overcome these barriers by engaging entrepreneurs through community-centered social initiatives. Specifically, we examine the "Opole Friendly Company for Migrants" project, a socially innovative competition conducted in the Opolskie V…
Refugees as a distinct diversity dimension: Workplace experiences and inclusion of Ukrainian refugees in Polish organizations
Purpose This paper explores the refugee experience as a distinct dimension of workplace diversity. Focusing on Ukrainian refugees in Poland following the 2022 Russian invasion, the study examines their workplace experiences, challenges and contributions, aiming to fill a gap in diversity and inclusion literature by treating refugee status as a unique category beyond general migrant or ethnic classifications. Design/methodology/approach The resear…
Highly educated Ukrainian migrants in Poland prior to 2022: Education, work and integration efforts
Drawing on recent original qualitative research, this paper focuses on the under-researched area of highly skilled migration in the relatively new migratory context of Ukrainian migrants to Poland. Commonly, migrants from Ukraine have been found to work in basic low-paid jobs and in an informal, non-regulated capacity; thus, often falling prey to precarious and insecure employment. However, this article focuses on career pathways of highly educat…
The drivers of deskilling: Comparing highly skilled Ukrainian refugee women in Austria and Poland
The arrival of Ukrainian refugees in the European Union (EU) has reignited debates about the accessibility of labour markets, deskilling and underemployment. The Ukrainian case is especially significant because most refugees are highly skilled women and the implementation of the EU's temporary protection directive has provided them with immediate access to the EU's labour market. This paper examines the labour market access and deskilling of high…
Comparing pre‐war and forced Ukrainian migrants in Poland: Challenges for the labour market and prospects for integration
Before full‐scale war broke out in 2022, over 1 million Ukrainians resided legally in Poland. Within weeks of Russia's aggression, around 1.5 million new Ukrainian forced migrants had arrived, many of whom remain in Poland. As of September 2023, 970,000 Ukrainian refugees were still in Poland, where they enjoyed temporary protection status. This paper analyses data from a 2022 survey of both forcibly displaced and pre‐war Ukrainian migrants with …
Snowball Sampling vs. Respondent Driven Sampling in Regional Research. Comparing the use of the Methods to Study Migrants Working in Elderly Care
The aim of the article is to compare the effectiveness of the snowball sampling and Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) for research on migrants working in elderly care. Analyses are based on results of in-depth semi-structured individual interviews conducted among 42 migrants working as caregivers in the Opole region (Poland). This group can be considered as a “hidden population” because, due to the work they provide in the household, frequently il…
High-Skilled vs. Low-Skilled Migrant Women: The Use of Competencies and Knowledge—Theoretical and Political Implications: an Example of the Elderly Care Sector in Poland
This paper presents the influx of migrants into the elderly care sector in Poland, which, until recently, has been perceived as a country that “exports” caregivers. It describes the results of 31 individual in-depth interviews conducted with immigrant women who take care of elderly in Poland. The purpose of the study was to determine the profile of an immigrant taking up work in the elderly care sector, including the specification of their educat…

The Determinants of Student Migration to Poland Based on the Opolskie Voivodeship Study
Until recently Poland has been considered a country to emigrate from. However, the situation is now beginning to change, and Poland is becoming an immigration country. This also refers to student migration. Polish universities are becoming increasingly attractive to foreign students, who are mainly of Ukrainian origin. They only began to promote their services abroad in 2005 and their foreign student population growth dynamic is one of the highes…
