ABSTRACT:

From the point of view of policymakers, language is one key to a successful integration. (…) From the perspective of Economics, language is a main input factor to the production of human capital. Referring to Dustmann and Glitz (2011) expose that proficiency in the host country’s official language improves cross-border transferability of human capital and labor market experience collected before migration. In 2020 8.7 million non-EU citizens were employed in the EU labour market, out of 188.9 million persons aged from 20 to 64, corresponding to 4.6% of the total (Eurostat). Among the various sectors that employ non-EU citizens, there are some unrepresented ones such as Public administration (1.2%), Financial and insurance activities (1.1%), Agricultural workers (1.3%). JobLinguo aims to provide support to people with migrant background in order for them to be included in the labour market of the hosting country with more possibilities offered.
