Unemployment of people of foreign origin in France: The role of discrimination

Abstract

This article has two primary objectives: (1) the 1968, 1975, 1982, 1990, and 1999 censuses. The interest in individual trajectories requires us to consider the relations between personal labour market situations and the acquisition of French nationality. This relation must be analyzed in light of the population which consists of those children who, since childhood, have been in a position to acquire French citizenship. Although gaining citizenship is usually regarded as an important sign of civic and political assimilation among immigrants, it can also be seen as a factor in their economic assimilation. French nationality makes it easier for young immigrants to get jobs. It is better to be a young Algerian or Moroccan with French nationality than to be a young Algerian or Moroccan who does not have French nationality.Keywords: migrants' children in France, discrimination, labour market, longitudinal analysis, citizenship. de 1968, 195, 1982, 1990 et 1999. L'intérêt Résumé Cet article a deux objectifs: étudier la relation entre l'origine des personnes issues de l'immigration étrangère en France et la fréquence des situations de chômage les concernant et examiner la rôle possible de la discrimination à leur encontre.

Immigrant Adjustment in France and Impacts on the Natives

“…In the same period, Richard (1997) in the labour market is undoubtedly due to their ethnic background, which is negatively correlated with labor market opportunities. Richard (1997) found considerable divergence in performance between immigrants from EU and from other countries. Especially, he found that young workers with a Maghreb background often face labour market discrimination as they encounter unequal employment opportunities and permanent difficulties in penetrating the labour market.…”
