Abstract

This study assesses discrimination in access to private and public employment according to two criteria, a North African origin and an address in a deprived neighbourhood, using a correspondence test on three professions where public recruiters compete with private recruiters: administrative managers, maintenance technicians and orderlies. Between October 2015 and April 2016, we sent 3,258 applications in response to 1,086 job offers. The study consists of a statistical and econometric analysis of the call back rates. We do not find that discrimination in hiring is lower in the civil service than in the private sector and we show that hospital and territorial civil services are more exposed to the risk of discrimination than the state civil service, for both criteria.
