By using Migration Selectivity Index with comparable data (Labour Force Survey) we were able to confirm the hypothesis of ‘washing-out’ of selected categories of Polish population: men, people with post-secondary, secondary and vocational level of education, inhabitants of rural areas and those who live in agricultural households. We made an attempt to estimate the scale of the phe-nomenon and described its demographic consequences. Our analysis corresponds with the ‘crowding out’ hypothesis (Okólski 2011, 2012; cf. Grabowska-Lusińska, Okólski 2009; Anacka, Okólski 2010) stating that the post-accession emigration from Poland gave a chance to an economically ‘redundant’ labour force to move to regions and economic sectors with high demand for labour.10areturn migration10aselectivity of migration10awashing-out of population1 aAnacka, Marta1 aFihel, Agnieszka  uhttp://www.ceemr.uw.edu.pl/vol-1-no-1-december-2012/articles/selektywno-emigracji-i-migracji-powrotnych-polak-w-o-procesie-wyp
