More about Luxembourg
Economy
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has (2018) 607 720 residents. Almost half of the population are foreigners. That is the highest proportion of foreigners in the EU. Most of the immigrants come from Europe, e.g. from Portugal, France, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Spain and Great Britain. The focus of the settlement is the south of the country with traditional industrial locations. Nine out of ten Luxembourgers live in metropolitan areas, most of them in the capital. Luxembourg has three official languages: Luxembourgish, a Moselle-Franconian dialect, French and German. The Luxembourgers are multilingual. The trilingual school tuition, the large number of commuters from neighboring countries and the employees of European institutions and international banks all contribute to this.
Luxembourg has an extensive social security system financed by taxes and membership fees, which includes health, pension and unemployment insurance. The life expectancy of Luxembourgers is among the ten highest in the world.
Like the grand ducal family, around three quarters of Luxembourg’s people are of the Catholic faith. 2% of the population is Protestant, 0.1% are Jewish. Around 2% are Muslims. A quarter does not belong to any denomination. The Luxembourg Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. The separation of state and religion has been in effect since 2016. The state no longer pays the salaries of newly appointed clergymen. In schools, the subject of “Life and Society” replaces the religious instruction that was customary up to that point.
For environmental reasons and to avoid the frequent traffic jams in and around Luxembourg (city), local public transport (tram, funicular, railway) is being expanded. From March 2020 it will be free for everyone in Luxembourg.

Park-and-ride parking spaces at the city limits and an electric tram are to relieve the capital of traffic. In addition, the cycle path network will be doubled to a length of 1,100 km.
