Napływ migracyjny w dobie dekoncentracji zaludnienia

Abstract

Despite the commonly observed suburbanization, there are cities in Poland with a positive migration balance. One of them is Wrocław, which is the most important migration center in south-western Poland. The following study raises the issue of migratory inflow to this city, by characterizing the source areas and people settling there for permanent residence between 2002 and 2018. The main research method used in the study is the analysis of statistical data, whose primary source was the statistical material available in the Demography database. In the course of analysis, it was noted that the immigrant population is dominated by young people, coming both from municipalities located close to Wrocław, as well as significantly distant from it, which indicates the heterogeneity and lack of territorial continuity of the immigration field.
