In the Search of Higher Earnings
One in ten interviewees (10%) declare willingness to work abroad (3% claim that they are looking for such work at the moment and 7% are going to search for it in the future). The willingness of the majority of them (56%) results from low earnings in Poland. It is not uncommon (15% of interviewees looking for a job abroad or planning to do so in the future) that it is an effect of problems with finding any employment. For some who are ready to look for a job abroad the most important are possibilities of exploring the world (12%) and gaining work experience in foreign companies (9%). Few of emigration-motivated interviewees are planning to join their relatives abroad (4%) or improve their language skills (1%).
More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish “Work Abroad”.
The data come from the survey “Current Problems and Events” conducted in October 2015.
