International migration and population decline in the regions with national minorites in Poland on the example of Opolskie voivodeship

Original language description

Poland after the 2nd World War, is a country with the uniform ethnic structure. However, there are regions (voivodeships) in Poland with a significant share of national minorities. Ethnic minorities play an important role in the development of such regions in the political, socio-demographic and economic sense. Studies have shown that the trends of demographic development in regions with national minorities differ significantly from the direction of changes in other regions. Characteristic is the decline in the population representing a national minority in the region, caused by permanent emigration and its demographic consequences in residential areas of minorities. The migration outflow affects all spheres related to the functioning of the minorities in the region, but most of all seriously weakens its political representation at the local, regional and national level. The causes of migration outflow of minority groups are complicated, but it has been shown that local zones with lower rate of minorities are more prone to depopulation caused by the migration and its wide socio-economic effects. Evaluation of these phenomena from the point of view of development of regions with significant share of national minorities is generally negative. Problems of depopulation in the regions minority and their political consequences for the functioning of national minorities and for socio-economic development of minority regions are among of the main challenges for the regional policy of the country.
