Ukrainian-Polish Vector of Migration Processes

Abstract

Nowadays, migration processes form under the influence of the state policy and become indicators of efficiency of state institutions. This paper is the authors’ attempt to prove that migration of Ukrainian population to Poland is the result of implementation of state policy. The authors reveal the main trends in the migration of Ukrainians to Poland on the basis of empirical data from the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine, sociological surveys and historical memory of Ukrainians and Poles. Apart from the difficult socio-economic situation in the country, migration of Ukrainians to Poland is facilitated by a systematic policy of the countries of Europe and Russia in the field of education, public policy and redistribution of natural and human resources.
