Question 31088 — discrimination

Summary

Ms. Monica Michel-Brassart draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Employment and Integration to the fight against discrimination in the labor market. According to the 2019 edition of the Eurobarometer on discrimination, France is one of the countries in the European Union where discrimination is most felt by the population. Thus, nearly 80% of individuals in France consider that skin color is a criterion of discrimination in France while the European Union average is 60%. Whether linked to age, gender, disability, ethnic origin or skin color, discrimination in the labor market is ethically unacceptable, prohibited by law and has a cost on the economy by reducing the demand for work and effectively reducing the productivity of people discriminated against. As recalled in the note from the Analysis Council Economic (CAE) of June 2020, part of the current policy to combat discrimination focuses on the perpetrators. For example, CV testing makes it possible to identify the most discriminating companies. In this regard, the CAE particularly highlights the inadequacies in recruiters' knowledge of legal sanctions. This lack of knowledge affects the credibility of these sanctions. The law relating to equality and citizenship of January 27, 2017 requires, in its article 214, all personnel in recruitment to undergo training in non-discrimination when hiring in companies with more than 300 employees. This system is to be welcomed but could be completed. It could on the one hand extend to the field of management of current personnel and on the other hand be accompanied by support for companies in their choice of training providers non-discrimination in recruitment and management. In this context, she asks him if the Government intends to take measures in this area to strengthen its policy to combat discrimination at work.
