Paweł Kaczmarczyk is a Professor of Economics at the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the University of Warsaw and the Director of the Centre of Migration Research at the same university. Trained in international economics, he has been conducting research on various aspects of international mobility and migration for more than 20 years. Initially, his research focused on Polish mobility, including large-scale studies on seasonal workers, highly skilled migrants and post-2004 migration. He has studied both the socio-economic drivers of migration as well as its consequences, including the effects on the labour market and the fiscal impact. Since the beginning of the 2010s, his area of research has shifted towards understanding and explaining migration to Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries and the process of transition from a net sending country to a net receiving country. His recent work has largely focused on the mobility of Ukrainians, first labour migration in the post-2014 period and more recently massive war-related displacement. Other research interests include migration policy, methodology of migration research, labour economics, population economics and demography, and international economics.
His work has been published, among others, in Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Journal of Rural Studies, Journal of Mixed Methods Research, Oxford Review of Economic Policy, East European Politics and Societies: and Cultures. He is a member of IMISCOE; IZA fellow, and SOPEMI correspondent for Poland at OECD; in 2008-2011 a member of the Board of Strategic Advisers to the Prime Minister of Poland (responsible for demography, migration and labour market related issues). Since 2020 he coordinates the Centre of Excellence in Social Sciences at the University of Warsaw (part of the Excellence Initiative – Research University programme).
