Abstract: | Our study focuses on the differences in wages and employment between French workers with French parents and French workers
with at least one African parent, using the Formation Qualification Professionnelle survey (Insee, Paris, 2003). We introduce
econometric decompositions, which allow us to reach conclusions when the potentially discriminated group is small. Then, we
clarify the impact of discrimination at the hiring level in this context. We find that unexplained parts in the employment
decompositions are much larger than in the wage decompositions. This suggests that, in France, labor market discrimination
is more frequent at the hiring level than in the compensation process. |
