Poland
Agriculture and logistics are the focus of research in Poland. Research on the agricultural sector will be carried out in the fruit plantations of the GrĂ³jec district, while Warsaw will be the location for our research on logistics and delivery sector. GrĂ³jec’s proximity to Warsaw (approximately 40-50 kilometres) offers many opportunities to study potential overlaps between sectors.
Since 2014, Poland has experienced a significant increase in immigration. Data for 2020 shows that Poland ranked just behind the US in terms of attracting seasonal foreign workers (OECD 2021). Most of these workers take up temporary employment in low-skilled occupations, like agriculture, construction, retail or domestic services. Although the possibility to stay and work in Poland has become much easier in the last 15 years, irregular migration still persists.
