In a study published on Wednesday, August 29, INSEE reviewed the professional movement of people who arrived in France from Africa.

Starting a new life in a new country can be the same “bottom” too bad for a worker, and especially when you are from Africa: it is the end of a report published this Thursday, August 29 by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee). In this work, which is part of the educational programs on immigration published on the same day, national scientists shed light on the professional trajectories of immigrants born in Africa and de France.

“Emigration is a professional break”first notes INSEE. And this can be synonymous with a marked economic decline. According to statistics collected by the institute, almost a third of employed immigrants of African origin believe that they have a job under their skill. In fact, 26% of them have a less skilled job than their last job in their native area. 62% saw no change, and only 13% followed the upward movement. Similarly, in 2020, 29% of African immigrants held managerial or intermediate professional positions before de France. Once put in place, only 21% of them work in these co-operative categories.

“Having a university diploma does not protect against the risk of professional mobility, especially when it is not known in French,” the institute also noted. The lack of recognition of certain diplomas obtained in the city Exporting can force people who take qualified positions in their country of origin to take unqualified positions in France.

The majority of those arriving from Africa work in management or service positions. Just like us The survey was conducted in 2017 not the Ministry of Labor, immigrants take one job out of ten in France. They represent 38.8% of domestic workers, 28.4% of guards or security agents and 27% of unskilled construction workers. The ministry said in its report: “Their work causes them to have strong stress. Short-term contracts (CDD, short-term) are much higher there (31% compared to 18% overall).”

There is a feeling of “bottom” even among African immigrants

Furthermore, the observations of a “bottom” is especially true for immigrants born in Africa, note the country’s statisticians. “32% of them believe that they experience such a situation of decline, compared to 26% of those born in Europe, Asia, America or Oceania.”Now. This observation was valid many years after their arrival in France. “Restricting ourselves to immigrants who have been there for more than 15 years, 30% of those from Africa still declare that they feel depressed, compared to 24% of those from Europe and 22% of those from Flag.”For example. African migrants are also often confined to positions that are less reasonable than those they occupied before their departure. 26% of them find themselves in this situation, compared to 20% for immigrants born in Europe and 23% of those born in Asia, notes INSEE.

There are also differences among immigrants of African origin. Them “from Guinean or central Africa” thus most have to experience upward or downward mobility, initially “Immigrants from “other African countries” are those with the least experience, up or down”. So they find work at the same level of qualification as before their departure.
