In this study we explore the links between linguistic diversity, educationalsystem, and unemployment in the European Union where each country is normallyhome to more than one language. We argue that even in the presence of a linguafranca, or common language, the different mother tongues of both potentialemployees and employers are reflected in different attitudes towards workingpractices and cooperation. We formulate several hypotheses that reflect the factthat such differences may both promote or restrict employment. In particular, wetest the hypotheses of skill complementarity, language-centered behavior, socialcohesion and political awareness for the sample of twenty-seven Europeancountries during the period between 2000 and 2010. We find substantial evidencein favor of the hypotheses of language-centered behavior and political awareness,suggesting that the school system as it currently is in the EU does not functionas a social cohesion tool.
