This
research report, published in April 2008 by RLN London, explores
the language skills of London's residents - and the reasons why
we need to make the most of their talent. For the first time, UK-wide
data from a recruitment agency population of 1.7 million is used
to analyse the language skills available in London by comparison
with the rest of the UK. We also look at higher education, as
well as the provision of specialist language services in London.
This practical report includes user-friendly information summaries
and country profiles.
A
report produced by RLN London in July 2006, that explains why the
capital needs to make the most of language skills. It also identifies
what further support is required for London to realise its future
economic potential and ensure the success of the 2012 Olympic and
Paralympic games.
