  1. Does research show a correlation between the ability to speak English as a 2nd language & economic status of those in non-English speaking countries?

  2. Good question, Vincient! I'm unaware of any research on this topic but I imagine that there is some literature focusing on this.

  4. Many thanks, Vincient, for the link to the article! It's an interesting research question but one I've not followed to see what research literature is available but I suspect that those with financial means to advance their education would have a better command of English which no doubt opens further educational and career avenues.
