Abstract: "Proficiency of the German language is one of the key factors affecting labour market performance in Germany. Ethnic enclaves tend to reduce the German language proficiency, but only to a limited extend if we consider that immigrants with a relatively weak knowledge of the German language select themselves into neighbourhoods with a high concentration of immigrants of the same ethnic origin. In contrast, higher education levels are strongly correlated with higher levels of German language proficiency." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
