Labour Migration 2.0 – Open Bridge or Locked in the Network? The Polish Case
Journal Title: Social Evolution & History - Year 2015, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
The first part of the study presents – as an introduction to the subject – a synthetic view of the most significant theoretical concepts explaining the foreign labour migration phenomenon. An overview of the history of Polish emigration is provided after that. Then, upon this historical background, a division of migration capital into bridging and bonding is followed by by a suggestion of indicators for assessment of both types of capital. The next part includes an analysis of selected results of empirical studies within ‘possession’ of bridging and/or bonding migration capital by contemporary Polish migrants. The final part presents an analysis of the results of own study within the subject. At last, the study ends with a synthetic summary of conducted considerations with an outline of research questions which may lead into further investigation into the problem.
