Qualitative Info

Public administration does not reflect the ethnic diversity of Polish society due to the fact that there are legal limitations in access to employment in the public sector for non-Polish citizens. Migrants entitled to employment in Poland can work in civil service only in the positions that do not require – directly or indirectly – participation in exercising public authority and functions aimed to protect general interests of the state. Another reason is that Polish society is relatively homogenic, and it is not as ethnically diverse as some EU countries.
