Poland Overview
Poland is a country in Eastern Central Europe with (2018) 38.0 million residents; The capital is Warsaw.
Politics and law
Poland is a parliamentary republic with a president as head of state. The president is elected for five years and has only limited power. The parliament, which is elected for four years, consists of the Sejm with 460 members and the Senate with 100 members. The Senate advises and controls the Sejm on questions of legislation. The Sejm and the President jointly determine the government headed by the Prime Minister.
In 2015 and 2020 Andrzej Duda (* 1972) was elected President of the country and the conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS) won the parliamentary elections. She rules with an absolute majority. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki (* 1968) from the PiS party has been Prime Minister since December 2017. Under the Conservative government, Poland brought its own national interests more to the fore. Poland does not want to take in refugees if possible. At the same time, the government is trying to exert more influence on Polish judiciary.
In 2017, Poland implemented an educational reform. The grammar schools introduced in 1999 were thus abolished. Compulsory schooling was reduced by one year. Children do not start school until they are 7 years old. Compulsory schooling lasts until the age of 16. After the 8-year elementary school, the young people can either attend a 4-year lyceum (graduation: Matura), a 5-year technical college or a 3-year vocational school. If you want to study at a university, you need a high school or technical college degree. Graduates of the vocational school need two more school years to achieve the higher education entrance qualification. There are 19 universities in Poland as well as numerous other public, church and private universities. The oldest universities are in Krakow, Wroclaw and Warsaw.
Economy
When the state-controlled planned economy switched to market-based structures in the early 1990s, the Polish economy initially fell into a deep crisis. In particular, the large state-owned companies in the steel and chemical industries found it difficult to assert themselves on the world market. Many plants were closed. From 1992 the industrial sector returned to growth. Investments from abroad and the good training of the Polish workforce contributed to this. The furniture industry, the processing of plastics and metals as well as vehicle construction are recording high growth rates. Neighboring Germany accounts for over a quarter of all Polish foreign trade.
Poland has a multitude of different mineral resources. The coal, sulfur and copper deposits are of global importance. Almost all of the energy is generated in thermal power plants. They work on the basis of domestic coal stocks or imported oil. The use of renewable energies (wind, water, biomass) is only just beginning.
The service sector generates over half of the gross domestic product. Big banks and insurance companies are concentrated in Warsaw. The information and communication industry is growing in importance. The Asseco Group is one of the largest software companies in Europe. Tourism is on the rise. The most popular travel destinations are the Baltic Sea coast, the Masurian and Pomeranian Lake District and the winter sports resorts in the southern mountain region. The most attractive city trip destinations include Warsaw, Krakow and Wroclaw.
Agriculture is still very important. It employs around 11% of the workforce (Germany: 1.3%). The farms are often too small to generate large profits. In addition, many farms only have outdated machinery. Nine out of ten Polish geese end up on German plates as Christmas goose.
