💡 Takeaway: Language is not just cultural heritage. It also shapes education, integration, and public policy outcomes.
🔗 Read the full article here:
3️⃣ In Barcelona, school-meal subsidies show an unexpected impact: they improve students’ Catalan proficiency.
4️⃣ In Catalonia, the introduction of Catalan as a teaching language in 1983 had limited effects on identity and national sentiment.
📚 Four highlighted studies:
1️⃣ In Rwanda, switching the language of instruction to English had negative effects on students.
2️⃣ In the UK, immigrants with stronger English skills tend to live in higher-quality neighborhoods.
🌍 How are language, public policies, and economics connected?
Our researcher Antonio Di Paolo explores this question in his latest post at 5centims.cat, summarizing key insights from the Workshop on Language Economics and Policy, held last May at @economiaempresaub.bsky.social.
📢 Open call for the Enrique Fuentes Quintana 2024-2025 awards to recognise outstanding doctoral theses!
