Indians and Colombians now third and fourth largest groups of foreign workers in Poland
Ukrainians remain by far the largest immigrant group, followed by Belarusians
According to new data from Poland's Social Insurance Institute (ZUS), Indians have surpassed Colombians to become the third-largest group of foreign workers in the country, while Colombians remain the fourth-largest group. Ukrainians continue to be the largest immigrant group, followed by Belarusians. The overall number of registered foreign workers has increased by more than 8% over the last year, with the fastest growth rate seen in recent years.
Deputy Interior Minister Maciej Duszczyk attributes this growth to Poland's stricter migration strategy, which forces employers to report previously uninsured workers for insurance.
