The article discusses the issue of the sustainable development of the EU in relation to the concept of eco-humanistic globalization. The processes of globalization are closely related to the increased flows of people around the world, mainly for economic purposes. The number of migrants for work purposes is increasing. Emigration countries generate losses and immigration countries acquire new social capital (these immigrants work for low wages as compared to domestic employees by performing work in services, construction industry or care-providing institutions). Poland is an example of an emigration and immigration country, where the inflow of foreigners is replacing shortages in the local labour market. The migration policy inscribed in the concept of sustainable development (in EU strategies) should aim at equalizing the economic and social situation (greater integration) of immigrants in the host countries. Otherwise, rich countries will generate profits and emigration countries will lose the most important capital, which is people and their resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
