Poland sees improved MIPEX score in latest rankings

Poland scored 44 out of 100 points in the recently published Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX 2025) report; a 3-point increase in comparison with its score in 2020. Among the Central and Eastern European countries, Poland scores higher than Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Lithuania and Latvia. It falls behind Romania, Slovenia, Estonia and Czechia. The report highlights several examples of positive developments in integration policy in Poland, including the increased support for migrant children that was introduced in response to the arrival of large numbers of children displaced from Ukraine.

MIPEX measures the state of development of integration policies across 56 countries on 6 continents. The indicators are grouped into 8 key policy areas: labour market mobility, family reunification, education, political participation, permanent residence, access to nationality, anti-discrimination, and health.

New report examines the demographic situation of Poland

The Government Population Council published a report entitled ‘The Demographic Situation of Poland’, one chapter of which is devoted entirely to international migration. The report highlights in particular the situation of people displaced from Ukraine in relation to language learning, noting that limited fluency often prevents this group from securing employment corresponding to their qualifications, thereby affecting their full integration into the Polish labour market. The report is available on the website of the Central Statistical Office.

Half of Poles support active involvement of state institutions in migrant integration

More in Common Poland published a report detailing the results of a survey conducted by Ipsos on a representative sample of 1,200 Poles in August 2025.

52% of respondents to the survey also view positively the ongoing development of migrant integration centres, which would support legal migrant residents in handling administrative matters, finding employment and accessing education. Further, 47% of respondents also support admitting refugees through community sponsorship, a model in which private individuals and local communities assist refugee families in their daily lives and the integration process.

Almost 48% of respondents said they are in favour of welcoming people displaced from Ukraine into Poland. Those in favour are predominantly men (52%), older respondents (51%), residents of the largest cities (64%), university graduates (63%), supporters of the political left (61%), and voters for the Razem party and the ruling Civic Coalition (70% each).
