Aid and support given to immigrants in Poland
Abstrak
Abstract The aim of this study is to explore the professional and non-professional assistance and support provided to foreigners before and after emigrating to Poland. Material and methods The qualitative analysis was conducted on a group of 21 immigrants who had resided in Poland for at least 5 years. 8 women and 13 men took part in the study, representing a total of 14 nationalities. The research method chosen for the study was the biographical method, while the technique employed was the biographical narrative interview. Results The interviewed immigrants assigned the most value to informal support received from persons with migration experiences. Conclusions Over time, the role of the social capital decreases and the role of the human capital increases for a migrant who resides in a foreign country, which means that when faced with difficulties, the migrants try to cope on their own, without the help of others, drawing on previous experience.
