| − | :::Poland is currently primarily a Catholic country that recently experienced significant scandals relating to priest pedophilia scandals. In 2021, Poland's fertility rate was 1.3 people which is far below a replacement level of 2.1 births per woman. Poland is beginning to experience growing labor shortages and generally the business class has the most clout in non-communist countries. In addition, pension systems need workers to keep the systems afloat.

| − | :::"In the midst of a decade-long economic boom, Poland is increasingly calling on workers from Asia to cope with a growing labor shortage, particularly in construction and agriculture. In the summer of 2023, images of a container village supposed to host some 6,000 Asian workers on the site of a refinery caused a public outcry. As Warsaw has no bilateral agreements with other countries, this large-scale temporary employment practice, intended to be short-term, is becoming increasingly common.

| − | :::Recent years have seen an unprecedented increase in workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Kazakhstan. As Dominika Pszczolkowska, from Warsaw University's migration research center, said, "This is a new and highly exponential phenomenon, but relatively marginal compared with workers from former Soviet Union countries. Migration from these countries is on the decline, hence the need for Asian labor." In 2022, Poland issued work permits to 41,000 '''Indians, 20,000 Nepalese and 22,000 Filipinos'''. The number of workers from Ukraine is currently estimated at 1.5 million."[https://archive.ph/IJ3dE#selection-2041.0-2045.599]

And due to the [https://asianews.network/the-global-war-for-talent-is-expanding/ growing worker talent/recruiting war happening between countries needing workers] and people for their pension systems, countries that offer more than temporary work permits (namely, citizenship and permanent residency) will have a competitive advantage and Poland will have to compete. Given that 98% of the world population growth is happening in religious countries[https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/eric-kaufmann/london-a-rising-island-of-religion_b_2336699.html], immigration to less religious countries from religious countries is bound to happen.
