7% of Poles to emigrate in next 2 years

This year's edition of the Social Diagnosis, which is conducted every two years, showed that  in the next two years seven percent of Poles plan to emigrate in search of work. The most appealing destinations are Germany and the UK. This percentage is similar to previous years. Past studies displayed that in 2013 eight percent wanted to emigrate, in 2011 - 6,9 percent, in 2007 - 11,4 percent. As much as 39,6 percent of Poles asked want to emigrate to Germany, whereas 23,7 percent to Great Britain. Holland appeals to 11 percent, Norway to 5,7 percent, Italy to 1,7 percent, Ireland to 2,3 percent, Belgium to 2,7 percent, Sweden to 3,6 percent and the USA to 2,9 percent. The willingness to emigrate to USA decreased by 70 percent as compared to 2009. This is due to the fact that the USA is far away and thus contact with family is more difficult. Moreover, low-price airlines do not fly to either Chicago or to Detroit.
