According to the data released, the net migration between Poland and Germany in 2024 was negative by 12,068 people: 88,388 Poles left German territory, while only 76,320 arrived.
Experts attribute this phenomenon to the economic downturn in Germany and the sustained growth of the Polish economy, which offers new job and development opportunities.
Based on specialist analysis, the return migration is also explained by reasons beyond purely economic factors.
Reports of discrimination against Polish citizens in public and work settings have intensified the desire to return to their country of origin. These incidents, coupled with a growing sense of exclusion, undermine the sense of belonging within the diaspora.
Considering the social context, RMF24 highlights the absence of a “culture of welcome” in Germany toward migrants, even those from European countries like Poland.
