2. ‘A Van Full of Poles” Liquid Migration from Central and Eastern Europe – paper presented at ASSR by Godfried Engbersen, Erik Snel and Jan de Boom from Erasmus University, 29.04.2008
“The ‘guest-worker-syndrome’ is not applicable to CEE migrants as they are likley to be commuters or cicular migrants. The will not settle in the Netherlands.” The authors describe post-enlargement migration as having more complex, transitory patterns in terms of transnational settelment and shifting migration status. International migration has become ‘liquid’ to paraphrase Zygumnt Bauman’s work on “liquid modernity’.

3. “The Polish Migration to the Netherlands: main issues & challanges” – presentation by Malgorzata Bos-Karczewska, editor-in-chief of Polonia.NL, WTC Almere 23.04.2008
An overview:
• A historical perspective: 5 Polish waves to NL
• Polish community in NL 2008
• EU-integration a driving force of a new Polish migration from 2004 onwards
• Major characteristics
• Is labour migration a blessing or a curse?
Gone West: labour shortages become painful in Poland/
A host country perspective: Mitigation of Dutch labour market tightness in some specific sectors, economic value of Polish migrants: 3,5 bn euro per year (0,6% Dutch GDP)
• Challenges to PL and NL
Poland:
1. Pressure on wages
2. Look for immigrants from Ukraine, China??
3. Design a come-back policy
Netherlands:
1. Public information
2. Housing (short-stay)
3. Exploitation of labour (malafide uitzendbedrijven)
4. Integration of new entrants
Conclusions:
I Polish labour migrants are not new gastarbeiders
• as Poles enjoy freedom as EU-citizens and workers =>> have a wide choice of a host country
• New pattern of migration: short stay/ circular migration – short distance to Poland
• Polish economy is booming and ec. prospects are very good (EU-funds)
• 2nd generation Poles do not differ from Dutch (assimilation: speak Dutch, similarity with Dutch values and norms)
II Labour migration is only a temporary solution to current labour market problems• Who next after Poles, Romanians and Bulgarians?? Some labour intensive sectors will have to go… adjustment is unavoidable
• Sustainable growth requires labour reforms both in PL and NL
