Sabina Kubiciel-Lodzińska



Abstract

Is it possible to create immigration policy at the regional level? To date, migration policies have been analyzed at the European or national level. However, it is possible this issue should also be worked out at the regional level. This is connected with the specific nature of certain areas, such as the Opolskie Voivodship, in which international migration has become an important element of socio-economic development. The consequence of migration of residents of the region may become an influx of foreigners. It can be believed that, in view of the ongoing discussion in the Opolskie Voivodship of depopulation and the creation of remedial mechanisms, it would be worthwhile to consider developing policies related to the influx of foreigners in the region. It seems that the Opolskie Voivodship in the development of an individual, regional immigration policy could be a pioneer and create a "good practice" for other regions, as well as measures that could be implemented throughout the entire country. The purpose of this article is to show the influx of foreigners in Poland and Opolskie Voivodship, which can be regarded as a consequence of emigration of Poles observed in the country and the region, and to identify possible opportunities to benefit from the presence of foreigners.
