Thing is the UK's wealth is massively concentrated in London/finance sectors. So if in 2030 the average Pole is richer than the average Brit that likely means that the great mass of British people outside of London will be considerably poorer than the average Pole.
I've read that by GDP per capita measured by PPP UK outside London is as poor as Slovakia which is itself poorer than Poland so by GDP per capita by PPP average Briton outside London is already poorer than average Pole.
As a Pole I'm not so optimistic. Sanctions on Russia and expensive energy and closed russian market and "green directives" are going to kill polish companies..
Trick is in one word , average. Same goes to Poles as for the Brits. Those Pols who live outside big cities would have income below average. Anyway , who would thought that we will even have this conversation in first place just 10-15 years ago, such a big gap was between the two.
Do the poles live in comparable housing or grubby council type flats like the rest of eastern Europe. Same with food do they also eat dog poo sausage products?🎉
@@Teapot69 well, they don't live in overpriced mold rotten cardboard houses and don't eat overprocessed microwavable food from Tesco, so overall the living standard in Poland is definetly higher than in UK
As a Pole who visited UK often during last 2 decades, I can see few mistakes. The first problem is your state is too generous towards people not participating for the society. There are district of british cities where people are living on benefits for generations instead of being forced to do something about their live and get a job. The second thing is lack of safety. I felt unsafe while walking at night. There were people selling drugs openly, it can't happen in Poland becouse police puts dealers in jails. Meanwhile UK is absorbing benefiters from whole world like rest of western europe. Money you spend on benefits, we spend on infrastructure that improves our living standard. Typical Polish City has way better developed public transport network than same size, much wealthier british cities.
@roberturbanczyk204 Poland has great transport links. It always has. It just needed modernising. Even in the pre eu days, Poland had a great tram system and railway links beyond its borders. Yes, l agree,the Uk feels more unsafe. The UK failed to put enough bobbies on the beat, which acted as a deterrent to drug pushers and anti-social behaviour,
@colinsmith1288 tramway systems were devastated by decades of being unrepaired. Train connections between big cities are still terrible compared with western european countries and we want to change it with CPK project.
@@colinsmith1288 now we have even hi speed trams. I think the part of reason why your public transport is undeveloped is the way british cities are build. Typical british housing is a twin house. Poles lives mostly in multistory apartament houses, density matters.
As an Albania 🇦🇱 I say congratulations to our Polish friends and allies for working hard to build their country and better their lives. All this done with honorable work without invading other nations and looting other people that could not fight back. Congratulations!
I am neither British nor Polish, but your statement is misleading. Access to EU common market helped Poland and without it Poland could not grow as it did.
@@leoprg5330getting help from the EU and working hard can go hand in hand. The point of Poland not stealing from others and not trying to conquer other lands for riches still stands.
I remember being there as a 19 yo Pole working on a greenhouse picking tomatoes. Many cool British people in mid 40 as well as brain-washed people screaming that we are stealing their jobs. On a greenhouse, Kent county - there were 80% of Poles of blue collar workers, 10% of Romanian, Latvian, Lithuanian ones and maybe 3-5% of British ones. White collar were 99% always Brits. So ask yourself Brits - were we really that bad?
Of course Poland is flourishing, they are a homogenous, patriotic nation, retaining their traditions and culture. No terrorism, bombing, little girls stabbed. Unlike the UK.
That was the best time for us and should have stayed like that - just imagine the superpower that we could be today Germany would never dare to attack same with Russia and Bialorus would never dare to think to mess with Lithuania, all the best stay safe 👍
Same here, after 17 years living in London I decided to come back to Poland 2 years ago, so far it was my best decision… life here is more peaceful, safer, food is more enjoyable and affordable 😋Wherever I go in Poland it looks like the whole country is under construction, even small cities are booming, getting prettier, so many modern houses are building up.
I a Italian, and in 2 weeks I will finally moving from Milan to Warsaw. I've been going back and forth for 2 years and I can't wait to move. I love Milan but Warsaw has a much better life-quality
I am Polish, once a year I fly to Sardinia on holiday. Great cuisine, weather and Italian relaxation.Two weeks is enough to recharge the batteries. Italy is beautiful, but only if you want to rest. The quality of life in Italy compared to Poland is unfortunately lower. If you work hard and are educated, believe me, you can live at a high standard in Poland. Warsaw is nice but I invite you to Gdańsk and Sopot, life is better here.
@Max-nu5dg I like Gdańsk, my girlfriend's sister lives there and it's so lovely! And you are right, Italy is perfect for vacation, living is much easier in Poland
Using the words British and Economy in the same sentence is an oxymoron. The British have a moronic history of voting for the politicians that has given them what they have now.
@@xtc2v Where do you connect the voting plebiscite and overspending in your odd little mind? Seems you are part of the bigger problem. Do you hear morse code when you close your eyes? Think before you type, think before you vote. Better still, don't type and don't vote. 🙄
We invite you for a holiday or city break to Poland. There are many great and safe cities to visit (Warsaw, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Kraków, Poznań). Your stereotypical perception of Poland and Poles will definitely change ;)
All the former migrants of Poland are back from the UK to jump start their business, now becoming the economic transformation stakeholders in their nation. So Brexit helps push Poland upward and forward.
@@nuuskamuikkunen407 not even 700k and something around 250k is the old immigration. You are talking about new ones (who came after 2004) half of them left
@@xtc2vit was a barter deal, we have let your companies to slaughter ours. We are not going to be sorry because your moronic polititians made wrong turns for decades.
No denying the second part of your statement, but the previous Polish governments did play a role in Polands development by making good use of both funding as well as possibilities provided by Eu membership. AKA they didn´t spaff it up the wall or used it for merely corruption.
I love visiting Poland! 🇬🇧🇵🇱 Quality of life also seems to be better than the UK now. Better housing stock, national parkland, more focused on working to live rather than living to work.
when i visited Krakow this was the most surprising thing for me - i actually felt like i was in Europe. I saw some non-poles but nothing like we have in other major cities in Europe.
Europeans will do anything to blame immigrants and never take ANY responsibility. British people shot themselves on the foot by leaving EU and barely investing in productivity. Y'all are a laughing stock. Enjoy being a 3rd world country soon. America, Singapore, Australia, , Germany and even Oman has millions of immigrants AND still outperforming the UK. Joke of a country
I’m pole living in the uk. This video misses few things - millennials in PL are extremely well educated. Extremely. Universities are for free so people finishing 1-3 different faculties or/plus study abroad. Even if they are not using that knowledge at work it makes them simply wiser, people making better decisions, plan future - all without unnecessary credit/ debts. Another thing - we are more focused on family and connections with people than to go on holidays abroad few times a year. There is no such a culture of taking credits or getting into debt. We know that our environment is our responsibility so we care about it and work to make it better. The majority of poles work REALLY HARD- this is what I acknowledge only after working in the uk: from the jobs for minimal wage to specialist jobs- Poles are working more and harder. There is also good spirit of entrepreneurship. We don’t create ghettos - we accept everyone as long as they are a decent people. Despite class divisions. My school had all social classes. Rich were intermingled with poor and saw their struggles. We are friends despite social classes. Better students were drawing worse students up. Flats (blocks) used to be for middle class and other not like in the uk - for ghettos. It makes it easier to build up new buildings and saving space Drawbacks- nobody is sure we will get any pension, our healthcare is worse than NHS (despite doctors and nurses working their a. Off) so we are using private sector massively. Research in the uk is incomparable. I am thinking the population of poles are poorer than English and still will be in 2030 but we have better habits. A lot of money for investments in Poland came from the EU. Once it’s done - it might look differently.another problem is low birth rate - our pension system is constructed in a way that the young force are paying towards elders pensions. What will happen if there will be not enough of young force? Getting immigrants and creating the same problems as in the west? Our capitalism is quite young (though we started from a rough capitalism - with shock doctrine) - the longer the capitalism- the biggest social class gaps and wealth inequality 🤷♀️ Just leaving it here for some thoughts
good points, although NHS is worse than NFZ ( healthcare), also private healthcare in PL is much affordable than in the UK. Low birth rate is a common problem in western countries.
I live 9 months in the Uk and 3 months in Poland .Poland is still behind the UK especially mentally but you see constant growth,In the UK I see store closure ,in Poland they open new stores, galleries . For me it is still better here but I think in 10 yrs the situation will change .I have my own flat but leashold is for me a scam ,6000£ for cutting 1 acre of grass for a year .I'm on the street when I lose job however in Poland you could live months /years before you sell it and you lost health .I prefer this than receiving benefits ,you have plenty of time to adjust the new reality .You are not paying like service charge you pay for council to cut your grass and keep basic repairs .I understand now British mentality .Polish person is trying to have his own flat at any cost in Britain I was bemused when guys bought houses in Spain and rent in the UK .Now I understand them .There is also historic legacy in communism it was forbidden to have private land ,but in the UK landowners have the best situation in Europe .The UK hasn't have proper revolution like French revolution ..
Too bad it's a nonesense take since it fails to mention Poland's demographic crisis & unforseen things that can happen in the future. Using the same metric Poland will surpass the USA by 2050
It's still only a prediction not reality. We're quite a bit poorer than you, it's not some utopia. It's really hard for young people to get their own flat, rents in big cities are really high relative to wages, inflation has been crazy in the past few years. We'll see how it goes in the next 5 years but I don't think we're really going to surpass the UK by 2030, the times are quite uncertain.
1. Winston Churchill betrayed Poland by giving it to the Russians for peace. 2. Poland was virtually destroyed during World War II, and the deciphering of the Enigma by Polish mathematicians and the changes in the fate of the war were downplayed. 3. We started from scratch because even though you were our ally, you never helped us. 4. I was a student and I wanted to earn money in the UK in Southampton in a dairy, after 1 day I knew almost everything, but I almost had a fight with the manager because I pointed out to him that he was doing it wrong and he fired me. I learned from my friends that he put what I said into work. 5. Now I am in a high position in Poland and despite respect for the UK and beautiful Bournemouth, I discourage my compatriots from working because we will never be respected here. Besides, the UK already has problems with employees because they taught their children to live on benefits and do nothing.

The UK is a backward country and has been for decades. Everything about it seems archaic and outdated, including the mentality of it's people, who largely live in the past, insisting they are a powerful, important country, as if it is still 1920. Poland' economy has grown massively since it joined the EU. Britain is the only country ever to leave the EU.
Maybe because The UK is a powerful nation state? Major IMF shareholder, P5 member, top NATO influencer due to nuclear armaments. major shareholder in The EBRD, founding member of the commonwealth of nations, five eyes intelligence member, founding member of the IMO, G7/G20 member
@Betweoxwitegan this is exactly the mentality @deannilvalli6579 is referring too. The UK isn't a wasteland, but all this great power stuff just gets in the way of making a logical assessment of what the country needs to do to move forward.
GDP per capita gives the illusion of a high standard of living, and it's a statistic that makes governments feel good about themselves. What it doesn't take into account is the backsliding of wage gains in the private sector from inflation, and the gig economy. Then there's the ever greater disparity between the wealthy and the poor. I wish GDP per capita told the whole story.
@@FictionHubZA or a combination of existing stats like kids in poverty or food bank use rates. However nothing beats GDP per capita as a false equivalent for standard of living. I don't expect any country wants the truth to be told although most depressing statistics are publicly available.
Your videos are amazing! I am a regular viewer and really enjoy your content. I am interested in investing but have not found the right opportunity yet.

In my opinion, investing is not about getting rich, but about achieving financial independence. To become a professional investor, you need a financial advisor. I achieved this by following the instructions of my financial advisor. So far, I have no regrets.

In 1989, my father (mid level manager in construction company in PL) was officially earning 30USD, per month. So maybe PKB was 10 times lower than UK, but people income was even much, much lower than that. When he left for some temp, lowest paid job in Swiss he got 3 times more money per day vs month, while just being construction guy assistant. Whole country was in complete ruins.
Hello. The development of Poland is mainly the merit of the Poles themselves. Poland did not have overseas colonies on which Western countries grew rich by importing raw materials and cheap labor. Poland had 44 years of inefficient communism that blocked Poland's development. Additionally, EU funds are not money given for free, because Poland also pays contributions and will soon be the same payer to the EU as Germany currently is. EU funds are like a bank loan, you have to pay back and help other poorer countries.
Colonies were fucking useless. The only country that may perhaps have actually benefitted from them to some extent was the UK and it's unlikely any dividends keep on being paid to this day. Those sinkholes bankrupted both Spain and Portugal by the 19th century and near close ruined Italy and Germany. France's today's deal with Francafrique yields ten times better cash then any "colonial empire" ever did.
The development of poland is mainly due to .massive amounts of cheap credit and increased public debt. Now that mortgage rates have gone up from 1.5pc during covid to about 9pc .....funnily enough , the property boom (which has powered the fake economy since 2016) is really struggling. 8 In 11 cities reporting price drops. Interestingly enough in 2023 they increased as much as 25pc....why ? Cos the government introduced massive mortgage subsidies, whereby it will pay the interest on people's mortgages for the next ten years. In my town , sellers have to resort to sticking up adverts of their flats on lamp posts..... still no sale. Inflation is over 5 per cent and a third of people are on the minimum wage. Does that sound like a success?
@@jasbindersingh2441 And what inflation do you have in Russia, Turkey, etc.? The minimum wage in Poland is growing every year continuously, and a maximum of 15% earns it (where is your 1/3 here?). The minimum wage in Poland is over 3 times higher than in Russia. Poland will soon join the G20. This is a success. Greater every year. Only jealous trolls do not see this.
@@yarpen26 I expressed myself badly, I meant the 20 largest economies in the world in terms of nominal GDP. It is known that the G20 has slightly different criteria, not just these.
as a Pole living for 21 years in UK must say to equalise life standards with UK , Germany or France is still long shot although if you travel to Poland all infrastructure looks way better and much more modern than UK , also cleanliness on the streets or pavements is on another level compare to UK .Definitely Poland going in right direction while UK screwed up with brexit and at the moment looks like stuck in 90's
Polish people are well educated, and hard working, strong competition mentality. They are jealous, they do everything to be better than others. In Poland education is for free, it is much easier to find really talented people among all the people.
Poland needs €12 billion from the EU each year to push their economy. They are not able to pay for themselves, they are definiitly not the engine but the money drain
Poland also agrees on some ridiculous EU policies, but then partially ignores implementation. Actually this postponing of implementation is a key of success.
These 2 countries already have similar living standards. In 8 years Polish GDP ppp per capira will be almost the same as in the UK....and then the UK will turn into Colony of Jalalabad and Poland to a Ghost Land.
Poland is much safer and cleaner with beautiful women, the best in Europe military and strong culture, plus not turning into Pakistan and Islam anytime soon, because that's how Europe should be. Europe should stay Christian as that is how we started.
@SamuelDone-bu4ri I’m pretty sure about this. I lived in Poland for 30 years and over 20 years in the UK. After all that time, nothing has changed. Poland is still seen as a source of cheap labour and a warehouse for Germany, which, by the way, is collapsing. There is new infrastructure funded by the EU that makes Poland look nicer, but salaries are still far behind - except for a very few.
A lot of famous and influential people come from Poland and Eastern/ Central Europe, including Audrey Hepburn who is part Slovakian and Czech Jewish. A lot of Hollywood is full of Polish people also Martha Stewart and Keith Urban. Poland-Lithuania was once one of the most powerful commonwealths in Europe and Poland has had relations with Scotland for a long time. So let's not oversimplify.

I'm Polish who have been living in the UK for 13 years. Living here seems more and more difficult; however Poland has lots of disadvantages too. The economy is growing, but mortgages are still super expensive, work conditions often way worse etc I know it might be different in better jobs. Economy growth is one thing but what average people can afford is another
All this comparison all of a sudden on yt PL vs UK. Some sort of paranoia how Poland dare to be better than UK or how UK could decline so much. Instead just stick to your business and use EU Subsidia as intended. Not like Greece for example. I know UK has gone Brexit, but what I am getting at is Poles always worked hard through obstacles with what was at hand and didn't look back. I suggest brits should do the same and stop whining about their politicians fault, cos oh boy you must have not met polish ones.
As someone who worked in various sectors usually took by "working class" I have to say that it is not that easy. Young generation of Brits is rather considered by non-english colleagues as lazy and highly demanding. Their skills are also very debatable. Hard work of polish people is also mainly aftermath of upbringing of children during hard times of communism era in eastern Countries. I noticed that new generation of polish kids adopts patterns of modern world as well so we can tell that current status of polish economy is still very...flexible.
As a Polish living in the UK, I absolutely agree with you. I see English people spending too much time thinking who they can blame for the current situation. I want to use this occasion to sent a BIG THANK YOU for UK for letting me in, trust and acceptance.
Essentially, Poland took the UK spot in the EU economy. Meanwhile, the UK hasn't found a suitable replacement for the EU. At this point, the UK's best bet might be to apply to become the 51st U.S. state. No offence, but Brexit has dismantled much of what the UK built post-World War II. The UK gambled on other countries following its lead and exiting the EU, but that backfired-nations saw the economic fallout and decided to stay, allowing the EU to grow stronger while the UK struggles to find its footing.
😅 what a naive comment. UK is still most attractive country for immigrants in Europe followed by Germany. No one wants to go to Poland, they can barely feed Thor own people! This RUclips video is clearly meant for clicks.
The mere fact of scaring the English that Poland might overtake them smacks of the islanders' exceptional sense of superiority. Poland? Such poverty and primitiveness? No, it can't be... True; partitions, war and communism, i.e. external aggression from foreign countries, destroyed Poland, but not the Poles. The Poles are a proud, educated and ambitious nation that is now showing its potential again.
It's obvious that the government has no profitable plans for we the citizens, we have to source our means by ourselves. I started investing as a way to earn extra but it's now my main source of income; I never expected the massive yield toh...

We, in the UK, ought to be taking a look at how the Polish deal with with immigrants and the 'woke' culture because this ideology coupled with the fact that most 'refugees" or immigrants are in receipt of government benefits, and contribute very little to their host country. That fact is hurting this country financially. Although that won't be scrutinised under Starmer as they're his voter base.. Immigrants land on these shores and are put up in hotels, or are found accommodation quite quickly, while indigenous homeless pensioners are dying in tents from the cold. The UK needs get its priorities in order.
It did nothing to improve our country. What helped was working hard - literally every other student was working abroad during holidays to earn money - season jobs in Norway, uk, France, Germany- not thinking about buying Gucci shite 😂 there used to be huuuge pressure for higher education. 80% of my peers x graduated - although remember - education in Poland is for free- even universities. we don’t like take debts unnecessarily,p. The state benefits never helped since 90s and even now they barely cover the food expenses x don’t even think about free housing or bills cause it’s only for multi- children poor households (if x not even all of them will get the help). We also treat homeless as immigrants - no mercy - they chose their fate themselves. Everyone struggles. Em educated engineer/specialist earns around 2000-2500£ per month AT BEST so we are still faaaar away
I have been living in Poland for 5 years, I came here from England. I will stay in Poland permanently! ! Wonderful food, tasty bread, friendly people. I can walk down the street in the middle of the night and feel calm.
Sorry but everyone is missing a massive point. I was born and raised in the UK but I am dual British and Czechia national. Unlike the UK, eastern European countries simply do not tolerate large scale immigration from the third world countries. Yes there are multi generational family households in the UK whom haven't worked jobs for decades but our leaders have made the situation much, much worse (especially in the last 3-4 fours) than it needs to be with low skill, mass immigration. Since 2006 the UK population has increased by 10% circa 6.2 million while the Birth Rate has been declining. Nothing on this scale has happened to Poland during the same period. The UK GDP per head has been falling for some years now as has productivity exactly while immigration has ramped up. Getting the UK government to stop low skill mass immigration will ease pressure on housing, force employers to actually train staff and invest in technology which will massively improve productivity. Though I acknowledge in certain parts of the country some people need a kick in the arse and should be forced to go out to work. It is so obvious I don't understand why more people don't see it.
“They thought they would escape regulations” haha. The environmental assessments for 3.3 miles of railway were 18,000 pages, while Madrid's 4-mile extension of Line 11 had just a 19-page assessment.

@@bp8220 Even in London, you still need to buy some high-tech from time to time. And these come virtually as expensive in Poland as they do in the UK, tossing all of those bucketloads of cheaper bread you've gotten during your groceries across the past six months down the drain. But there's also another reason why the PPP is so manipulative and useless, and that's exactly what the OP is alluding to here: the long-term investment. You can work in the UK to save for a house or a hefty pension in Poland. You absolutely cannot do that the other way around. Which gives you all the incentive to spend all of your most productive years in the UK rather than Poland. And when you do come back to Poland, you will make one or two bigger purchases and then will live the rest of your days parasiting on the national Polish health care provider. Yes, people no longer leave Poland as readily as they used to, but that's not because the gap is no longer insignificant, it's just that it's not worth the hassle as much as it used to. From what I've seen, you need to expect to at least quadruple your earnings in order to feel like emigrating, perhaps more if you have kids. Nowadays, most Poles would still earn more, but only twice, maybe three times as much in certain professions.

@@nuuskamuikkunen407 good that you left the country since you cant follow statistics. Given the average GDP per capita percentage growth in UK and Poland since the year 2000 we would pass the UK. It's a prediction and nothing else, but it's based on the real data, and it's very likely it will happen sooner or later. UK and the West have worse problems, for example the illegal migration crisis (which they brought upon theirselves) check what keir starmer said about the "failed experiment" and yes, that's what he called loosening the migration laws years prior.
Not one mention,that Poland did not allow Islamic immigration into the country like Briton. Also the old Soviet education system was far superior to the English system.
Rather important point here: Poland is probably the most conservative country in Europe, conservative values tend to produce certain things that I say, well, make you better off.
I don’t agree, although Poland is more conservative compared to Western nations, Balkans and Eastern Slavic nations are even more conservative. Major cities in Poland like Warsaw or Poznan are relatively progressive nowadays
I guess Poland has conservative values in comparison to Western countries, but I would say in many thing they are more progressive and very open minded....They observe a lot of things in the west and then they decide if they want it or not...like with the immigration policy...
From the videos I've watched with Andrzej Duda, he's definitely far more conservative in his policies than most European leaders. Especially when it comes to things like immigration, the family, and economics.

Over 1 million Poles still live here in Britain. The UK economy would be in a worse state still but for that. Every empire falls in time and even Germany's economy is failing due to its rigid thought processes and failure to innovate. Poland won't become a great state again as in the 16th century but it might earn its way out of taking EU subsidies and assert more influence in the EU. You still need Britain to help defend your borders as Germany and other EU members won't rush. The calculus of self interest is stronger on the continent of Europe hence the randomly closed borders and ability to do universal good without asking what the payback is.Trump is at one with this view so better beware.
A comment from Poland: Economy is complex and everything has its price. In 1990 the cost was hiperinflation (people losing lifesavings), hostile take-overs, corruption bigger than in communist era and massive, up to 18% unemployment. What really helped was 2004 entrance to EU and about 2 milion Poles going abroad. Plus some EU cash for shure. Nowadays, we have our reasons to worry. Energy, cost of housing, or extra costs of labour (insurance etc) went high so fast that rise in prices caused a DECLINE in sales at the level of 8% (b2c, retail market) and as customers move more to corpo shops, little, often family-run businesses face trouble.
I heard it's by the mid 2030s and not by the year 2030. But with brexit UK getting out of one recession into the other then it could be 2030! Who knows. By the GDP PPP per capita currently UK got 62 574 dollars and Poland got more than 51 000 dollars. So the difference in THAT category is already getting very obviously smaller and smaller, and FAST. 5 years from now the GDP PPP per capita of Poland might as well be similar or higher than the UK's. The PPP value of the average monthly net salary in Poland, adjusted for the LIVING COSTS, is currently 3100 dollars and in the UK it's 3300 dollars. In those categories Poland IS ALREADY getting mighty close to the UK. As things are so much cheaper in Poland.
It's sad that England treats us so badly. Poles before 2004 were positive towards the English. We fought to defend England in 1940 when no one wanted to help you. We thought it mattered to you. How naive we are.
The key difference is that Poland has not destroyed itself by importing millions of third world migrants and subsidising them at taxpayers expense. Poland is also receiving 246 billion euros in EU subsidies to prop it up as part of the NATO/US proxy war against Russia. Nor has Poland outsourced its entire manufacturing sector and replaced it with financial speculation and net zero like the U.K. has.
this is absolute nonsense and you know this. for starters, Britain shouldn't have gone and colonised these 3rd world countries as you call it. most immigrants to the UK pay their fair share of taxes. you have to A. earn over a certain to get your family to come to the UK with you and B. you're not allowed to to claim benefits until a number of years has passed. Only exception was EU immigrants before Brexit. the vast majority of benefit claimants are native Brits, that even immigrant tax payers contribute to. And if you're talking about Asylum seekers, in the grand scheme of things, they get miniscule assistance whilst they are awaiting their claim. most asylum seekers application is rejected too, and so they are sent back home. on top of that, most of the asylum seekers are from countries we invaded or destabilised. so they got bombs, we get the immigrants. how about that? if you're talking about illegal overstayers, then by the nature they are illegal, they can't claim. they try to keep a low profile and take cash in hand jobs. they can't go applying for benefits when they are not legit
It's a nonsensical comparison, gdp per capita doesn't translate directly into living standard, London is a horrible place to live, life was better in Poland even during communism, just be cause what cities can provide, political persecution was another thing thou.
Easy guys - I do remember being teenager in mid 90' - all clever heads were saying that Poland will be as reach as west countries by 2010 ish - well they were far off from the reality....
Those cleverheads were really gullible in saying so and no person in their right mind and with at least a basic knowledge of history would've believed them..... take a look at Poland's tumultuous history where it didn't regain sovereignty until 1989 and try asking yourself if it's really so surprising that "they were far off from the reality". No need to feel superior. If anything, you can feel ashamed because Britain has contributed prominently to Poland's misery during and after the WWII.
It’s simple, the US built 37 military bases throughout Poland…the economy boomed after that…just like in Germany who has like 52 US bases still. It’s why Heidelberg in Germany took such a financial hit when the base left its city in Germany and Wiesbaden because extremely rich after the move. That’s honestly the main reason for Poland jump.
:-) Ah no. The US bases are cancer in our country. Nobody is profiting of them beside maybe interchanging cultural side. And in Germany we are still paying for the occupation forces.
Why? Because Polish people still have drive to work and grow. We had bad history but we can do more. UK going down every years. Cost of illegal immigrants, stupid politicians decision don't help.
Poles have way more possessions right now. Just little less money. Yet average Brit doesn't come even close to what Poles have. Land, houses, streets, new infrastructure etc.

Thing is the UK's wealth is massively concentrated in London/finance sectors. So if in 2030 the average Pole is richer than the average Brit that likely means that the great mass of British people outside of London will be considerably poorer than the average Pole.
I've read that by GDP per capita measured by PPP UK outside London is as poor as Slovakia which is itself poorer than Poland so by GDP per capita by PPP average Briton outside London is already poorer than average Pole.
As a Pole I'm not so optimistic. Sanctions on Russia and expensive energy and closed russian market and "green directives" are going to kill polish companies..
Trick is in one word , average.
Same goes to Poles as for the Brits. Those Pols who live outside big cities would have income below average.
Anyway , who would thought that we will even have this conversation in first place just 10-15 years ago, such a big gap was between the two.
Do the poles live in comparable housing or grubby council type flats like the rest of eastern Europe. Same with food do they also eat dog poo sausage products?🎉
@@Teapot69 well, they don't live in overpriced mold rotten cardboard houses and don't eat overprocessed microwavable food from Tesco, so overall the living standard in Poland is definetly higher than in UK
As a Pole who visited UK often during last 2 decades, I can see few mistakes. The first problem is your state is too generous towards people not participating for the society. There are district of british cities where people are living on benefits for generations instead of being forced to do something about their live and get a job. The second thing is lack of safety. I felt unsafe while walking at night. There were people selling drugs openly, it can't happen in Poland becouse police puts dealers in jails. Meanwhile UK is absorbing benefiters from whole world like rest of western europe. Money you spend on benefits, we spend on infrastructure that improves our living standard. Typical Polish City has way better developed public transport network than same size, much wealthier british cities.
@roberturbanczyk204 Poland has great transport links. It always has. It just needed modernising. Even in the pre eu days, Poland had a great tram system and railway links beyond its borders. Yes, l agree,the Uk feels more unsafe. The UK failed to put enough bobbies on the beat, which acted as a deterrent to drug pushers and anti-social behaviour,
@colinsmith1288 tramway systems were devastated by decades of being unrepaired. Train connections between big cities are still terrible compared with western european countries and we want to change it with CPK project.
@@roberturbanczyk204 l have to admit it has been a long time since l travelled on Polish trains. I always loved Polish trams,we have so few in the Uk.
so the same as in Berlin or Paris? 😂😂😂
@@colinsmith1288 now we have even hi speed trams. I think the part of reason why your public transport is undeveloped is the way british cities are build. Typical british housing is a twin house. Poles lives mostly in multistory apartament houses, density matters.

The biggest difference? Poland is clean.Clean streets, clean dishes and tables in pubs and clean people.
Why? The reason is simple, respect and discipline. Europe lacks that, immigrants do not even know the word...
No 3rd word imports
No blacks
I remember being there as a 19 yo Pole working on a greenhouse picking tomatoes. Many cool British people in mid 40 as well as brain-washed people screaming that we are stealing their jobs. On a greenhouse, Kent county - there were 80% of Poles of blue collar workers, 10% of Romanian, Latvian, Lithuanian ones and maybe 3-5% of British ones. White collar were 99% always Brits. So ask yourself Brits - were we really that bad?
Of course Poland is flourishing, they are a homogenous, patriotic nation, retaining their traditions and culture. No terrorism, bombing, little girls stabbed. Unlike the UK.
and we are not good at cunning...:)!

Europeans will do anything to blame immigrants and never take ANY responsibility. British people shot themselves on the foot by leaving EU and barely investing in productivity. Y'all are a laughing stock. Enjoy being a 3rd world country soon.

Not as many as the uk for sure. But it's dying off. By 2050 a third of the population will be over 76 years old.
The country is literally dying
@@allannicho1 thats why there is so many vids like this now - they tryin to convience migrants to move to Poland...
I’m pole living in the uk. This video misses few things - millennials in PL are extremely well educated. Extremely. Universities are for free so people finishing 1-3 different faculties or/plus study abroad. Even if they are not using that knowledge at work it makes them simply wiser, people making better decisions, plan future - all without unnecessary credit/ debts. Another thing - we are more focused on family and connections with people than to go on holidays abroad few times a year. There is no such a culture of taking credits or getting into debt. We know that our environment is our responsibility so we care about it and work to make it better. The majority of poles work REALLY HARD- this is what I acknowledge only after working in the uk: from the jobs for minimal wage to specialist jobs- Poles are working more and harder. There is also good spirit of entrepreneurship. We don’t create ghettos - we accept everyone as long as they are a decent people. Despite class divisions. My school had all social classes. Rich were intermingled with poor and saw their struggles. We are friends despite social classes. Better students were drawing worse students up. Flats (blocks) used to be for middle class and other not like in the uk - for ghettos. It makes it easier to build up new buildings and saving space
Drawbacks- nobody is sure we will get any pension, our healthcare is worse than NHS (despite doctors and nurses working their a. Off) so we are using private sector massively. Research in the uk is incomparable. I am thinking the population of poles are poorer than English and still will be in 2030 but we have better habits. A lot of money for investments in Poland came from the EU. Once it’s done - it might look differently.another problem is low birth rate - our pension system is constructed in a way that the young force are paying towards elders pensions. What will happen if there will be not enough of young force? Getting immigrants and creating the same problems as in the west? Our capitalism is quite young (though we started from a rough capitalism - with shock doctrine) - the longer the capitalism- the biggest social class gaps and wealth inequality 🤷♀️
Just leaving it here for some thoughts
good points, although NHS is worse than NFZ ( healthcare), also private healthcare in PL is much affordable than in the UK. Low birth rate is a common problem in western countries.
Oh the irony is hilarious. I wish I could leave the UK
I spent two years there in the period 2010-12 and back then I noticed how many Polish migrants to the UK were moving back home.
I live 9 months in the Uk and 3 months in Poland .Poland is still behind the UK especially mentally but you see constant growth,In the UK I see store closure ,in Poland they open new stores, galleries . For me it is still better here but I think in 10 yrs the situation will change .I have my own flat but leashold is for me a scam ,6000£ for cutting 1 acre of grass for a year .I'm on the street when I lose job however in Poland you could live months /years before you sell it and you lost health .I prefer this than receiving benefits ,you have plenty of time to adjust the new reality .You are not paying like service charge you pay for council to cut your grass and keep basic repairs .I understand now British mentality .Polish person is trying to have his own flat at any cost in Britain I was bemused when guys bought houses in Spain and rent in the UK .Now I understand them .There is also historic legacy in communism it was forbidden to have private land ,but in the UK landowners have the best situation in Europe .The UK hasn't have proper revolution like French revolution ..

It's still only a prediction not reality. We're quite a bit poorer than you, it's not some utopia.

We'll see how it goes in the next 5 years but I don't think we're really going to surpass the UK by 2030, the times are quite uncertain.
Poland has defended borders. Could be a reason. Its people have kept its national identity intact and will never allow it to be diluted.
1. Winston Churchill betrayed Poland by giving it to the Russians for peace.
2. Poland was virtually destroyed during World War II, and the deciphering of the Enigma by Polish mathematicians and the changes in the fate of the war were downplayed.
3. We started from scratch because even though you were our ally, you never helped us.
4. I was a student and I wanted to earn money in the UK in Southampton in a dairy, after 1 day I knew almost everything, but I almost had a fight with the manager because I pointed out to him that he was doing it wrong and he fired me. I learned from my friends that he put what I said into work.
5. Now I am in a high position in Poland and despite respect for the UK and beautiful Bournemouth, I discourage my compatriots from working because we will never be respected here. Besides, the UK already has problems with employees because they taught their children to live on benefits and do nothing.
Winston Churchill didn't betray Poland, he was in no position to force Stalin to withdraw. No one wanted WW3.

Wealth inequality is horrendous in UK.
The ruling classes have left vast areas of UK to rot after deindustrialising.
GDP per capita gives the illusion of a high standard of living, and it's a statistic that makes governments feel good about themselves. What it doesn't take into account is the backsliding of wage gains in the private sector from inflation, and the gig economy. Then there's the ever greater disparity between the wealthy and the poor. I wish GDP per capita told the whole story.
Maybe we should start using median wage as a measure of a country's success.

In 1989, my father (mid level manager in construction company in PL) was officially earning 30USD, per month. So maybe PKB was 10 times lower than UK, but people income was even much, much lower than that. When he left for some temp, lowest paid job in Swiss he got 3 times more money per day vs month, while just being construction guy assistant. Whole country was in complete ruins.
Hello. The development of Poland is mainly the merit of the Poles themselves. Poland did not have overseas colonies on which Western countries grew rich by importing raw materials and cheap labor. Poland had 44 years of inefficient communism that blocked Poland's development. Additionally, EU funds are not money given for free, because Poland also pays contributions and will soon be the same payer to the EU as Germany currently is. EU funds are like a bank loan, you have to pay back and help other poorer countries.
Colonies were fucking useless. The only country that may perhaps have actually benefitted from them to some extent was the UK and it's unlikely any dividends keep on being paid to this day. Those sinkholes bankrupted both Spain and Portugal by the 19th century and near close ruined Italy and Germany. France's today's deal with Francafrique yields ten times better cash then any "colonial empire" ever did.
The development of poland is mainly due to .massive amounts of cheap credit and increased public debt.

All this comparison all of a sudden on yt PL vs UK. Some sort of paranoia how Poland dare to be better than UK or how UK could decline so much. Instead just stick to your business and use EU Subsidia as intended.
Not like Greece for example. I know UK has gone Brexit, but what I am getting at is Poles always worked hard through obstacles with what was at hand and didn't look back. I suggest brits should do the same and stop whining about their politicians fault, cos oh boy you must have not met polish ones.
Yeah, they blame everyone, but actually it is themselves and their british empire mentality that is not relevant anymore...that is what blocks them.
As someone who worked in various sectors usually took by "working class" I have to say that it is not that easy. Young generation of Brits is rather considered by non-english colleagues as lazy and highly demanding. Their skills are also very debatable. Hard work of polish people is also mainly aftermath of upbringing of children during hard times of communism era in eastern Countries. I noticed that new generation of polish kids adopts patterns of modern world as well so we can tell that current status of polish economy is still very...flexible.
As a Polish living in the UK, I absolutely agree with you. I see English people spending too much time thinking who they can blame for the current situation. I want to use this occasion to sent a BIG THANK YOU for UK for letting me in, trust and acceptance.
Essentially, Poland took the UK spot in the EU economy. Meanwhile, the UK hasn't found a suitable replacement for the EU. At this point, the UK's best bet might be to apply to become the 51st U.S. state. No offence, but Brexit has dismantled much of what the UK built post-World War II. The UK gambled on other countries following its lead and exiting the EU, but that backfired-nations saw the economic fallout and decided to stay, allowing the EU to grow stronger while the UK struggles to find its footing.
😅 what a naive comment. UK is still most attractive country for immigrants in Europe followed by Germany. No one wants to go to Poland, they can barely feed Thor own people! This RUclips video is clearly meant for clicks.
The mere fact of scaring the English that Poland might overtake them smacks of the islanders' exceptional sense of superiority. Poland? Such poverty and primitiveness? No, it can't be... True; partitions, war and communism, i.e. external aggression from foreign countries, destroyed Poland, but not the Poles. The Poles are a proud, educated and ambitious nation that is now showing its potential again.
My main concern is how to survive all of these financial and political crisis, especially in light of the US political power scuffle
It's obvious that the government has no profitable plans for we the citizens, we have to source our means by ourselves. I started investing as a way to earn extra but it's now my main source of income; I never expected the massive yield toh...
I agree that hiring a portfolio coach is a smart move and that in this case, patience is your best friend. I make a lot of investments and cannot afford to take the risk of doing it alone. Instead, since the rona outbreak began in late 2019, my portfolio has been maintained by a qualified advisor. I only need about $86k more to reach my one million dollar ROl goal.

We, in the UK, ought to be taking a look at how the Polish deal with with immigrants and the 'woke' culture because this ideology coupled with the fact that most 'refugees" or immigrants are in receipt of government benefits, and contribute very little to their host country. That fact is hurting this country financially. Although that won't be scrutinised under Starmer as they're his voter base.. Immigrants land on these shores and are put up in hotels, or are found accommodation quite quickly, while indigenous homeless pensioners are dying in tents from the cold. The UK needs get its priorities in order.
Yeah, the pronouns destroyed your economy, not the national mass hysteria and wet dreams of being an empire yet again. Wake up
It did nothing to improve our country. What helped was working hard - literally every other student was working abroad during holidays to earn money - season jobs in Norway, uk, France, Germany- not thinking about buying Gucci shite 😂 there used to be huuuge pressure for higher education. 80% of my peers x graduated - although remember - education in Poland is for free- even universities. we don’t like take debts unnecessarily,p. The state benefits never helped since 90s and even now they barely cover the food expenses x don’t even think about free housing or bills cause it’s only for multi- children poor households (if x not even all of them will get the help). We also treat homeless as immigrants - no mercy - they chose their fate themselves. Everyone struggles.
Em educated engineer/specialist earns around 2000-2500£ per month AT BEST so we are still faaaar away
I have been living in Poland for 5 years, I came here from England. I will stay in Poland permanently! ! Wonderful food, tasty bread, friendly people. I can walk down the street in the middle of the night and feel calm.
I agree with you, I visit Poland every summer for two weeks, from Germany.
Sorry but everyone is missing a massive point. I was born and raised in the UK but I am dual British and Czechia national. Unlike the UK, eastern European countries simply do not tolerate large scale immigration from the third world countries. Yes there are multi generational family households in the UK whom haven't worked jobs for decades but our leaders have made the situation much, much worse (especially in the last 3-4 fours) than it needs to be with low skill, mass immigration. Since 2006 the UK population has increased by 10% circa 6.2 million while the Birth Rate has been declining. Nothing on this scale has happened to Poland during the same period. The UK GDP per head has been falling for some years now as has productivity exactly while immigration has ramped up. Getting the UK government to stop low skill mass immigration will ease pressure on housing, force employers to actually train staff and invest in technology which will massively improve productivity. Though I acknowledge in certain parts of the country some people need a kick in the arse and should be forced to go out to work. It is so obvious I don't understand why more people don't see it.
Be like POLAND ❤
“They thought they would escape regulations” haha. The environmental assessments for 3.3 miles of railway were 18,000 pages, while Madrid's 4-mile extension of Line 11 had just a 19-page assessment. Per mile, Madrid's assessment was 1,142 times shorter. That's the UK now - it's impossible to build anything, just like in San Francisco.
As an IT professional born in Poland I am still getting 100% more money in the UK, much better working conditions and lots other benefits. For a retirement though I'd prefer Poland.
does that offset the High cost of living in London?
@ I live in Scotland not London, these days Edinburgh isn’t much different than Warsaw. Not to mention clean air and beautiful surroundings, things that don’t exist in Warsaw.
US gives about 2x the money for IT jobs which UK gives
@ that’s correct but I don’t like the US as a country to live. I’d rather move to Switzerland or Lux which is possible.
@@bp8220 Even in London, you still need to buy some high-tech from time to time. And these come virtually as expensive in Poland as they do in the UK, tossing all of those bucketloads of cheaper bread you've gotten during your groceries across the past six months down the drain. But there's also another reason why the PPP is so manipulative and useless, and that's exactly what the OP is alluding to here: the long-term investment. You can work in the UK to save for a house or a hefty pension in Poland. You absolutely cannot do that the other way around. Which gives you all the incentive to spend all of your most productive years in the UK rather than Poland. And when you do come back to Poland, you will make one or two bigger purchases and then will live the rest of your days parasiting on the national Polish health care provider.
Yes, people no longer leave Poland as readily as they used to, but that's not because the gap is no longer insignificant, it's just that it's not worth the hassle as much as it used to. From what I've seen, you need to expect to at least quadruple your earnings in order to feel like emigrating, perhaps more if you have kids. Nowadays, most Poles would still earn more, but only twice, maybe three times as much in certain professions.

Ad Polish person living in UK and knowing what's going on in both countries, I'm telling you that this is absolute bollox.
Snufkin (original Swedish: Snusmumrik[en] or Mumrik[en], Finnish: Nuuskamuikkunen). Makes me think, why would you choose the finnish spelling of the word specifically? don't try to act smart and deceive people. You're spreading propaganda that you see on the internet, if you really are Polish, come here and see what's going on with your own eyes.

@trojson649 And propaganda spread in internet is this film above.
@@nuuskamuikkunen407 good that you left the country since you cant follow statistics. Given the average GDP per capita percentage growth in UK and Poland since the year 2000 we would pass the UK. It's a prediction and nothing else, but it's based on the real data, and it's very likely it will happen sooner or later. UK and the West have worse problems, for example the illegal migration crisis (which they brought upon theirselves) check what keir starmer said about the "failed experiment" and yes, that's what he called loosening the migration laws years prior.
And I'm a British person living in poland....and I agree with you 100 per cent . 👍
Not one mention,that Poland did not allow Islamic immigration into the country like Briton. Also the old Soviet education system was far superior to the English system.
Poland didn't have a Soviet education system but a Polish one
Agree with that. We had to study hard. No joke.
And monkeys
It will go much faster than that
Will not happen, Donald Tusk is in power in Poland so Poland is going down much faster than UK It's Tusk VS Starmer XD
Just wanted to add this economic fact, since 2019 Denmark have had the highest GDP growth of all EU countries 🤩
This is like Argentina and Japan all over again.
Edit: or, in the last 30 years, Japan and South Korea.

Rather important point here: Poland is probably the most conservative country in Europe, conservative values tend to produce certain things that I say, well, make you better off.
Not true, Tusk and leftwingers are in power.
I don’t agree, although Poland is more conservative compared to Western nations, Balkans and Eastern Slavic nations are even more conservative. Major cities in Poland like Warsaw or Poznan are relatively progressive nowadays
I guess Poland has conservative values in comparison to Western countries, but I would say in many thing they are more progressive and very open minded....They observe a lot of things in the west and then they decide if they want it or not...like with the immigration policy...
From the videos I've watched with Andrzej Duda, he's definitely far more conservative in his policies than most European leaders. Especially when it comes to things like immigration, the family, and economics.

What happened? The Poles left UK.
Over 1 million Poles still live here in Britain. The UK economy would be in a worse state still but for that. Every empire falls in time and even Germany's economy is failing due to its rigid thought processes and failure to innovate. Poland won't become a great state again as in the 16th century but it might earn its way out of taking EU subsidies and assert more influence in the EU. You still need Britain to help defend your borders as Germany and other EU members won't rush. The calculus of self interest is stronger on the continent of Europe hence the randomly closed borders and ability to do universal good without asking what the payback is.Trump is at one with this view so better beware.

8:22 Good thing the UK has enough police men to go after people who post memes on Facebook.
We, Poles, just know how to work.
A comment from Poland:
Economy is complex and everything has its price. In 1990 the cost was hiperinflation (people losing lifesavings), hostile take-overs, corruption bigger than in communist era and massive, up to 18% unemployment.
What really helped was 2004 entrance to EU and about 2 milion Poles going abroad. Plus some EU cash for shure.
Nowadays, we have our reasons to worry. Energy, cost of housing, or extra costs of labour (insurance etc) went high so fast that rise in prices caused a DECLINE in sales at the level of 8% (b2c, retail market) and as customers move more to corpo shops, little, often family-run businesses face trouble.
Britain left the Eu , Poland didnt.
Next question
That is not it?
Will do soon or ue just collapsed earlier
yes
I heard it's by the mid 2030s and not by the year 2030. But with brexit UK getting out of one recession into the other then it could be 2030! Who knows. By the GDP PPP per capita currently UK got 62 574 dollars and Poland got more than 51 000 dollars. So the difference in THAT category is already getting very obviously smaller and smaller, and FAST. 5 years from now the GDP PPP per capita of Poland might as well be similar or higher than the UK's. The PPP value of the average monthly net salary in Poland, adjusted for the LIVING COSTS, is currently 3100 dollars and in the UK it's 3300 dollars. In those categories Poland IS ALREADY getting mighty close to the UK. As things are so much cheaper in Poland.
spot on
It's sad that England treats us so badly. Poles before 2004 were positive towards the English. We fought to defend England in 1940 when no one wanted to help you. We thought it mattered to you. How naive we are.
The key difference is that Poland has not destroyed itself by importing millions of third world migrants and subsidising them at taxpayers expense. Poland is also receiving 246 billion euros in EU subsidies to prop it up as part of the NATO/US proxy war against Russia. Nor has Poland outsourced its entire manufacturing sector and replaced it with financial speculation and net zero like the U.K. has.
this is absolute nonsense and you know this.
for starters, Britain shouldn't have gone and colonised these 3rd world countries as you call it.
most immigrants to the UK pay their fair share of taxes. you have to A. earn over a certain to get your family to come to the UK with you and B. you're not allowed to to claim benefits until a number of years has passed. Only exception was EU immigrants before Brexit.
the vast majority of benefit claimants are native Brits, that even immigrant tax payers contribute to.
And if you're talking about Asylum seekers, in the grand scheme of things, they get miniscule assistance whilst they are awaiting their claim. most asylum seekers application is rejected too, and so they are sent back home. on top of that, most of the asylum seekers are from countries we invaded or destabilised. so they got bombs, we get the immigrants. how about that?
if you're talking about illegal overstayers, then by the nature they are illegal, they can't claim. they try to keep a low profile and take cash in hand jobs. they can't go applying for benefits when they are not legit
Both countries are home for me so rooting for both ❤❤
I mean they voted for a guy like starmer.. that gives you idea why
I bet they’re going to need a lot more people. Poland is going to have so many people. The most people in history are going to be in Poland.
Poland can be a wealthy in it's own right but first must move out of the shadow of Germany and Russia.
Good point. Both are on good way to fall and make more space for Poland. Russia will become ecconomical midget after this war
To prawda. Trzeba wreszcie przerwać ten chory sojusz Niemców i Ruskich.
The irony when British people were attacking polish migrants in 2016 lol.
It's a nonsensical comparison, gdp per capita doesn't translate directly into living standard, London is a horrible place to live, life was better in Poland even during communism, just be cause what cities can provide, political persecution was another thing thou.
It’s not an economic “miracle” if you have smart, educated and hardworking people :)
Easy guys - I do remember being teenager in mid 90' - all clever heads were saying that Poland will be as reach as west countries by 2010 ish - well they were far off from the reality....
Those cleverheads were really gullible in saying so and no person in their right mind and with at least a basic knowledge of history would've believed them..... take a look at Poland's tumultuous history where it didn't regain sovereignty until 1989 and try asking yourself if it's really so surprising that "they were far off from the reality". No need to feel superior. If anything, you can feel ashamed because Britain has contributed prominently to Poland's misery during and after the WWII.
It’s simple, the US built 37 military bases throughout Poland…the economy boomed after that…just like in Germany who has like 52 US bases still. It’s why Heidelberg in Germany took such a financial hit when the base left its city in Germany and Wiesbaden because extremely rich after the move. That’s honestly the main reason for Poland jump.
:-) Ah no. The US bases are cancer in our country. Nobody is profiting of them beside maybe interchanging cultural side. And in Germany we are still paying for the occupation forces.
Why? Because Polish people still have drive to work and grow.
We had bad history but we can do more.
