The Eastern European labour influx

More and more young graduates from the EU's new member states are trying their luck in western Europe's labour market. For its part, 'Old Europe' is finding ways to benefit from this economic migration, turning increasingly to manpower from the East - including would-be EU members.

Le Soir - Bélgica

Editorialist Pascal Martin finds that the recruitment of Romanian nurses in Brussels' hospital is a sign of a changing dynamic in the labour market. "The western world is frustrated, eaten up by its unsatisfied desires. There are not enough mechanics, not enough tilers, not enough engineers. ... Long taboo, legal immigration is slowly emerging from the forest. ... It forces us to see ourselves for what we are: a society that no longer produces children, and which is growing old with its material comforts and its emotional destitution. The time has long since come to initiate new family policies aimed at reestablishing the age pyramid. As Sweden and France have done. And, more recently, Germany. The other challenge is knowledge. The only way for the West to maintain its edge in the supermarket of labour is clearly to ensure it is always one step ahead." (01/08/2006)

Gazeta Wyborcza - Polonia

Sociologist Miroslaw Chalubinski and political scientist Piotr Chalubinski admit the emigration of young Poles is problematic from an economic point of view but stress the positive aspects of this phenomenon: "For many people, leaving Poland provides a chance to escape an environment that has a negative, sometimes even pathological effect on their development and to give their lives a positive direction… Many Poles go abroad simply because they have the opportunity and freedom to do so and want to make the most of their advantages. For many, the adventure of emigration is an attempt to assume responsibility for their lives and decisions. Young Poles are driven by a spirit of adventure and the desire to improve their education and qualifications… Emigration leads to contact between representatives of different cultures and exchanged experiences and therefore accelerates the development of many societies."

The Irish Times - Irlanda

"Up to two million Poles have left their country since the 2004 EU enlargement. The most popular destinations are, so far, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Who leaves? Why do they leave? Will they come back?" asks Piotr Kaczynski, a political analyst at Poland's Institute of Public Affairs. "The most numerous migrants are young, dynamic, skilled and educated Poles. Normally they should have no problems finding a job in Poland. But if you can earn five or 10 times more abroad, why bother working at home?" But Kacynski is sanguine about the future. "With lower unemployment, higher wages, and more EU money inflow into the Polish economy (up to 4 per cent of the GDP), there will be even greater economic growth, which is already exceeding 5 per cent a year. At some point Poland will grow to be a very attractive place not only to invest, but also to live." (01/08/2006)
