Abstract

A l'aide d'un testing nous évaluons l'ampleur de la discrimination à l'embauche envers les jeunes d'origine étrangère (maghrébine) en Ile-de-France. Nous avons mesuré l'effet de l'origine (française ou maghrébine) croisé avec la variable " diplôme " sur les chances d'accéder aux entretiens d'embauche en réponse à des offres d'emploi pour le poste de technicien de maintenance. Afin de réaliser cette étude, nous avons construit 3 profils de demandeurs d'emploi : deux jeunes hommes d'origine maghrébine et un jeune homme d'origine française. Nous avons délibérément renforcé les caractéristiques productives d'un des deux candidats d'origine maghrébine par rapport aux autres candidats. Ainsi, l'un de ces deux candidats d'origine maghrébine affiche un niveau de formation plus élevé que les autres candidats. Il détient un diplôme de niveau BTS alors que les autres détiennent un diplôme de niveau BAC. Nous avons envoyé 441 candidatures en réponse à 147 offres d'emploi en Île-de-France sur la période fin juillet 2010 - fin août 2010. Les résultats obtenus mettent en évidence des pratiques discriminatoires envers les candidats maghrébins. Ces pratiques ne sont que faiblement compensées par une formation plus élevée car le candidat d'origine maghrébine plus qualifié a un moindre accès aux entretiens d'embauche que le candidat français mais plus de chances que l'autre candidat d'origine maghrébine. Alors que le diplôme augmente les chances d'accéder aux entretiens d'embauche, l'origine maghrébine reste pourtant pénalisante.
