Abstract

Ce document propose une nouvelle méthode de décomposition des indices de ségrégation, lorsque les unités sont réparties suivant deux partitions non disjointes. Cette méthode est appliquée pour étudier comment la sectorisation et les choix parentaux contribuent à la ségrégation sociale dans les collèges français. A partir des données géolocalisées exhaustives sur trois zones urbaines, nous décomposons les indices de ségrégation entre collèges en fonction de la contribution de la ségrégation résidentielle et du contournement de la carte scolaire. Le choix d'une partie des parents de ne pas scolariser leur enfant dans le collège de secteur, contribue pour moitié à la ségrégation sociale à Paris, et pour plus de deux tiers dans les agglomérations de Bordeaux et de Clermond-Ferrand. Cet effet est surtout attribuable à la réduction de la diversité des origines sociales dans certains collèges publics, les familles évitant le collège de quartier pour un collège privé étant souvent les plus favorisées localement.
