Abstract

This paper examines the socio-economic status of the members of Switzerland's third language community - and hence its second largest linguistic community. Our goal is to check if a minority status in a demolinguistic sense is associated, in the case of Italian-speakers, with a divergence from the rest of the population in terms of earnings.
