“…Transnational living as articulated by our participants in terms of active attachments to and engagements in 'the home' and 'destination countries' provided them with an alternative to viewing migration as a dichotomous terms that is 'to stay' or 'to go'. Indeed, study by Bivand Erdal and Lewicki (2015) argues that Polish migrants settlement practices are framed but also facilitated by transnational interactions by enabling migrants to lead a fulfilling life in the new place of their settlement but also continuing to maintain a foothold in their country of origin. This was further emphasised by Marek:…”

“…A body of qualitative research and theoretically focused scholarship has examined the perceptions and behaviour of Polish migrants in the UK and Ireland through the lens of concepts such as transnationalism with challenge the presumptions of approaches that think in terms of integration (Johns, 2013; Krings et al, 2013b; Bivand Erdal and Lewicki, 2016). Various studies have found it difficult to determine the intentions of Polish migrants to stay or return not least because many arrived with no firm plans and because their views changed over time (Burrell, 2010).…”

Polish migrant settlement without political integration in the United Kingdom and Ireland: a comparative analysis in the context of Brexit and thin European citizenship

Following EU enlargement in 2004, the United Kingdom and Ireland experienced large‐scale migration from Poland and other new EU states. The Poles who migrated to both jurisdictions were demographically similar and have faced similar challenges although these have begun to diverge in the context of Brexit. Previous research emphasized the intentional unpredictability of many Polish migrants who deferred decisions whether to settle or return which appears to account for limited political incorporation in both the Irish and UK cases prior to Brexit. This literature also examined how such migrants have become socially embedded but not politically integrated. Drawing on surveys conducted in Ireland and the UK during 2018, we highlight predicaments arising from the thin nature of EU citizenship which allowed for free movement but has neglected political integration. In the Irish case, we suggest that EU migrants, including Poles, are likely to remain detached from citizenship and political participation.

“…It is also crucial to note that Trevena's research drew on a sample comprised exclusively of young and single migrants, who in majority had not entered the labour market prior to migration (Trevena 2011). Although Polish migrants have been a rather well-researched migrant group (Erdal & Lewicki 2016; for an overview see: White 2016), fewer studies have focused on how meanings attached to Polishness and East-European origin influence migrants' professional career choices. A recent study by Czapka (2019) shows that Polish women in Norway perceive working as kindergarten assistants to be a significant promotion from working as a cleaner, although their education does not correspond with any of these jobs.…”

Downward Professional Mobility among Poles Working and Living in Norway

This article explores the diverse trajectories of downward professional mobility as experienced by skilled Polish migrants living in Norway. On the basis of 30 in-depth qualitative interviews with Poles who have worked below their level of competence after migrating to Norway, I outline (1) how they tend to channel themselves into low-skilled employment at the initial stages of migration as they commonly assume it is inevitable when migrating, and (2) how they interpret and respond to remaining in low-skilled jobs after settling in Norway, often explaining it as a result of racialising and discriminatory practices against them. By bridging concepts of habitus and field with hierarchies of desirability of national migrant groups, I propose a notion of a 'transnational field of national hierarchies'. I argue that the downward professional mobility is both an individual and collective social practice guided by what I call 'the national component of the habitus' and embedded in the transnational field, where different national identities are hierarchically positioned.
