To investigate individual trajectories is to get to grips with career trajectories and initial and continuing training pathways. Céreq analyses all these trajectories and pathways and their evolution, in a context in which there tends to be greater permeability between employment and education/training and between initial and continuing education/training. Céreq bases its studies on field observations, interviews and statistical surveys. Among the last named, the Générations surveys (a national programme that tracks the early years of the working lives of young people with all levels of education and training) and the Defis surveys (on continuing training for employees) provide insights into these trajectories in all their complexity and over their entire duration.

Working conditions in France are quite heterogeneous. They vary according to the socio-demographic characteristics of employees but are also linked to their career paths. Employees who have made progress by changing companies without becoming unemployed demonstrate the highest levels of satisfaction with the conditions in which their work is carried out and frequently perceive their work as a…
At a time when the younger generations are massively gaining access to the baccalaureate and higher education, what influence do social origins have on educational and career paths?
