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.

Better qualified and with participation rates on the increase, they have also begun to narrow the pay gap and to gain access to occupations and sectors that used to be largely male preserves. In France, however, this convergence between men and women has been driven in part by a deterioration in…
Employment instability and economic uncertainty have increased in many industrialized countries in the last two decades, giving rise to perceived employment insecurity among workers. It has been shown that perceived job insecurity (PJI) significantly modifies economic behaviours such as saving, consumption and entry to further education, reduces job performance and generates adverse health and…
In 2013, the share of young women employed in management positions three years after their entry into the labour market reached parity for the first time with that for young men. Nevertheless, their access to management jobs at the beginning of their working lives still does not match the scale of their investment in education. The process of catching up with their male counterparts by…
Discrimination when hiring new staff is punishable by law. And yet gender is seldom a neutral criterion during the recruitment process. The assumption that women are less flexible in respect of their working hours is not the only issue at stake. A whole set of personality traits that are still regarded as 'innate' to men and women can bias the selection process. The statements made by…
