Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to discuss the socio‑economic effects of the international migration of Poles in light of their careers. The analysis is based on quantitative comprehensive data extracted from both public statistics and dedicated local surveys drawn from local communities with high density of migration, as well as from qualitative studies devoted to occupational biographies and social remittances of migrants. The author shows differentiations of occupational careers of migrants and sedentary local populations, and various profiles of transitions from the Polish education to the foreign labour market. She also seeks an answer to the question what Polish migrants bring from migration beyond money, and how migration impacts human capital.
