15. The issue of migration is visible in Poland at every step. A large part of our families went abroad in order to look for a better life. Although most of people go there just to work while living permanently in Poland. However we have also relatives who have moved away permanently. Members of our families work in Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, UK, and the United States. Moreover, I can see the problem of economic migration among my friends. This is not a good thing for us because as you know your family misses you. It is also the reason of Euro- orphans. In our home town we can also find frequent occurrence of seasonal migrations, especially for apples or grapes. The most common destinations for economic migration is Germany and France. I believe that the migration is able to destroy relationships between family members and, if possible, it should be avoided. index Our opinions
