Abstract

Des changements fondamentaux ont pris place dans le marche du travail et au sein des entreprises au cours des annees 1980 et 1990. Dans certains cas, on comprend ce qui s'est produit, sans toutefois en connaitre les causes. Dans d'autres cas, on ne dispose pas des donnees qui permettraient de faire la lumiere sur ce qui se passe exactement, et encore moins sur les causes. Les changements qui se produisent sur le marche du travail sont souvent lies a l'evolution des methodes que les entreprises utilisent pour embaucher et remunerer la main-d'oeuvre, a l'adoption de nouvelles technologies, a des changements dans les types de marches surlesquels les entreprises sont en concurrence, ainsi qu'a d'autre evenements qui prennent place dans les entreprises, p. ex. l'evolution de l'element demande du marchedu travail. Toutefois, on ne dispose pas de donnees permettant d'etablir des liens entre de tels evenements et la condition des employes. La presente etude donne unapercu des raisons pour lesquelles de telles donnees sont necessaires. L'exemple de l'augmentation de l'inegalite des gains sert a demontrer la necessite d'uneenquete de ce type. On presente aussi une vue d'ensemble de la facon dont on pourra fournir les nouvelles donnees en adoptant une nouvelle methode d'enquete.L'enquete proposee porte d'abord sur des etablissements, puis sur les travailleurs qui y sont employes. On etablit ainsi un lien direct entre les activites qui prennentplace dans l'etablissement et les resultats pour les travailleurs. Inversement, on etablit un lien direct entre les evenements qui se produisent dans l'entreprise et lescaracteristiques des travailleurs - un autre domaine de recherche ou sevit une penurie de microdonnees. La presente etude donne une vue d'ensemble des raisons quijustifient une telle enquete, de son contenu eventuel et des sujets de recherche que ces donnees pourraient permettre de traiter.
