Referring to migration flow you have studied, explain reasons for this migration
Migration of poles to uk means fewer people in poland meaning less pressure on limited resources like good quality house and health care allowing living standards to improve.
This also helps reduce unemployment rates for the country and migrants will return with new skills.
Birth rates are lowered as male migrants are away so there will be a decline in population,reducing strain on resources.
Migrants often send money home to their families meaning people have more money in poland helping improve economy and standard of living.
Positives for Uk would be a multicultural society that now includes polish shops or aisles in supermarkets
