Educational Migration Trends Review in Poland (with Particular Emphasis on the Immigration of Ukrainian Youth)

Abstract

This article aims to review and synthesise research on educational migration in Poland, particularly youth immigration from Ukraine. The paper collects statistical data from 2004, which allowed for the analysis of the existing trends in educational migration in Poland. The research on the largest group of foreign students – citizens of Ukraine – was reviewed, which resulted in identifying research gaps regarding student mobility in Poland, both in terms of demand and supply of educational migrations. The practical implication appears to show that the governments of the host countries, the business sector, and the academic units – due to the increase in the number of foreign students – can expect positive effects in the form of obtaining qualified human capital for the local labour market and the improvement of the demographic situation, provided that foreign students remain in the country and the family there.
