Abstract

Religious discrimination in France is an important social issue that has severely impacted the economic lives of the targeted religious minorities, especially in the recent period. Over the years, various studies have been conducted to assess the extent of discrimination and its effects on different socioeconomic dimensions. This chapter discusses this existing literature and proposes a reflection on the resulting established knowledge. I focus on studies published in the last 20 years and make a selection of literature in the field of economics mainly (with some incursions in sociological studies). This chapter covers religious discrimination revealed in domains such as job access, labor market trends, housing sector, language, and other important dimensions. It shows that there exists a relative consensus on the importance, economic consequences, and drivers of religious discrimination in France, especially against the Muslim population.
