International Colloquium on “Language Skills for Economic and Social Inclusion”

This conference aims at exploring the relationship between individual language skills and people’s integration in the economy and in society in general with a special focus on the labour market. Language skills can be viewed as human capital having a positive influence on people’s income, employability and social inclusion. This holds for immigrants, refugees and mobile people who can benefit from the knowledge of the official language(s) of the host country, but also for citizens learning foreign languages and using them in the workplace. Papers will be accepted in English, Esperanto, French, German, Italian, Spanish, or Swedish.
