The demographic and ethnical situation on in the Opole region of Silesia {Śląsk Opolski) possesses specific features not to be found in the rest of the country. The ethnical and demographic issues, especially foreign migration, has posed an important political, social, and economic problem in the Opole region practically since the 1950s. The demogiaphically and ethnically distinguishable group of native Silesians currently numbers 320,000, while in 1950 it numbered 41«,300. This is due to distinct (internal and foreign) migration processes, a distinct social and economic situation, and lasting family relations with the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Currently (1999) Dart of the native Piles n population (over 180,000) belongs to the Socio-Cultural Society for the German Minority in Śląsk Opolski (Towarzystwo Społeczno-Kulturalne Mniejszości Niemieckiej na Śląsku Opolskim), which brings together Silesians who consider themselves to be German. With the current state of sociological knowledge it is difficult or simply impossible to collect detailed statistics of the number of people belonging exclusively to the German minority. However, the population of Silesians (about 320,000) can be estimated with great accuracy in the light of demographic research and general records. (fragment of text)
