Abstract

Using Individual Trajectories to Study the Labour Market: The Case of Tunisian Migrants in the Parisian Region during the "Trente Glorieuses" Heirs to the multicultural "mosaic" introduced by colonial society, migrants from Tunisia who settled in the Parisian region after the 1950s offer an extraordinary opportunity for studying job discrimination. Longitudinal analysis of matched firm-employee data enables us to examine labour mobility and social inequality in a new light. This study highlights the extent of job discrimination based on nationality and gender in a segmented labour market, and the prevalence of insecure and temporary employment at a time usually regarded as the golden age of high-wage work and stable employment.
