Abstract

L'objet de ce travail est de mettre en évidence l'acuité du phénomène de discrimination économique dans certains pays en développement. On étudiera pour cela le cas du marché du travail urbain d'Abidjan en Côte d'Ivoire. Deux principaux axes d'analyse se dégagent. D'une part, l'étude des théories et des méthodes de mesure de la discrimination sur le marché du travail démontre la diversité et la complexité des processus discriminatoires susceptibles d'interférer avec les mécanismes du marché du travail. D'autre part, l'analyse empirique du marché du travail d'Abidjan souligne très nettement la part considérable prise par la discrimination dans l'explication des différentiels de rémunération entre groupes socio-économiques. De plus, elle permet d'évaluer l'importance des coûts économiques directement liés aux divers comportements discriminatoires.
