The press release published by Statec detailed that working in Luxembourg is, as we all know, synonymous with multilingualism. Statec highlighted that every three out of four residents work in a multilingual environment.
However, at home there are some differences. Most households speak one language at home. Only three out of ten residents live in a multilingual household.
As for the most popular languages spoken at home, Luxembourgish naturally remains the most-spoken language at home, with 53% of the population speaking it at home. 32% of the population speaks French at home, followed then by Portuguese at 19%.
Languages in the workplace show a different ranking, likely accounting for the number of cross-border workers in Luxembourg. French is the most common language in the workplace, corresponding to 78% of the population using the language at work. English follows with 51% and Luxembourgish ranks in third place with 48%.
