Indicator history

There is no national strategy on migrant/minority integration as such. In January 2005, the Ministry of Social Policy released “Proposals of Actions Aimed at Establishing a Comprehensive Immigrant Integration Policy in Poland”. However, even presumptions of Polish migrant integration policy have not been created until now. The records concerning the integration of this group are dispersed throughout other strategical documents related to social integration.
Since Roma people are the minority group the most marginalized in Poland, a policy on integration of this group has been adopted. Since 2004 there is a special program accomplished on the whole territory of Poland which aims at improving the situation of Roma in the following areas: education, health care, unemployment, counteracting hate crimes, promotion of Roma culture and traditions. There is also a special government subsidy granted every year for the activities aiming at sustaining, promoting and developing the cultural identity of national and ethnic minorities, as well as the regional language.
