Research conducted in the city included a group of approx. 3,600 parents of primary school children. The results of this study helped to determine the scale of the phenomenon both permanent and temporary emigration, differences in the scale of emigration in the various districts of the city and the consequences of economic migration of parents to situations and behavior of their children.
Keywords: economic migration, Opole Voivodeship, the consequences of parent’s migration.

Article: PDF download >>
Abstract: This article has a theoretical character. It provides an overview of the most important publications and research outcomes regarding the relation between regional economic (in)stability and the dynamics of economic growth. As this field of research is relatively new, no systemized research methodology has been established yet. Hypotheses are tested with help of different tools. Often, the accessibility of statistical data on the proper level of aggregation limits empirical verification of theoretical assumptions. This paper aims to contribute to the formulation of further research concepts and empirical verification of hypotheses regarding regional (in)stability in Central and Eastern European countries.
Keywords: economic stability / instability, dynamics of economic growth, regional economy
