The sectoral analyses, studies of firms’ practices and observations of work carried out by Céreq are based on analyses of the Générations surveys (a national programme that tracks the early years of the working lives of young people of all levels of education and training) and the Defis surveys (on continuing training for employees), as well as on ad hoc surveys, field observations and the use of statistical data. These studies focus on analysing work and understanding the changes in occupations and the organising principles of sectors and industries, as well as on firms’ practices and identification of their skill requirements. The analyses, which connect directly with the major (digital and ecological) transformations, also adopt approaches looking forward over the medium and even long term.

This is the case of the social and solidarity economy, and more particularly that of cooperative structures. How does taking environmental issues into account transform the jobs,…

In a fast-changing global context impacted by major societal shift (climate, digital, demographic) and turmoil (pandemics, international political instability), economies are transforming, skills required on the labour market are evolving and professions are changing. It is in these conditions that career transitions and professional reorientation take place.
Mostly performed by women, not very highly regarded and poorly paid, domestic help has many of the characteristics of so-called "low-skilled" jobs, including a high level of physical and psychological stress. Despite the fact that they generally carry out their work alone, these workers do not, nevertheless, have the autonomy to define their own schedules. A survey carried out by Céreq as part…
As the statutory retirement age rises in France, how do employees perceive their careers after the age of 50? Despite popular belief, most of them express a desire to evolve rather than a ‘reluctance to change’. Whether it’s a question of progressing internally, upgrading skills or retraining, seniors have plenty of career plans, but there is a lack of appropriate training to support them.…
