Poland will this week scrap income tax for roughly two million young workers in a bid to tempt emigrants to return home.
1.7 million people have left Poland in the past 15 years, spurred on by higher wages and opportunities in western Europe.
Young people have disproportionately made use of the EU freedom of movement they have enjoyed since Poland joined the bloc in 2004 – and the government wants to reverse the trend.
“It’s as if the entire city of Warsaw left, it’s a gigantic loss,” Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said.
“This must end, young people must stay in Poland.”
Mr Morawiecki added that opportunities for young people should “match those available in the West”.
