certain social groups have to face stubborn discrimination

More than half, exactly 51% of so-called racialized people believe that they have already been victims of discrimination when looking for a job. This is three times more than the average observed among all French people. Note that the concept of racialized person is the one recommended by the CNIL, the National Commission for Information Technology and Freedom. It refers to belonging to an ethnic group perceived by others. But discrimination does not stop at the search for a job. Once hired, within the framework of professional activities, they persist. This is what emerges from an Ifop survey conducted among more than 4,000 employees for the company MakemyCV.

Discrimination, for example, to progress in the career, to obtain a raise or a transfer. Thus, 40% of Muslims say they have suffered discrimination in these situations compared to 14% of those who say they have no religion. When we take all forms of discrimination at work, whether they concern recruitment, dismissal, leave, development, access to training, etc., the result is even more spectacular. 32% of the general population say they have already been confronted with it at least once. This proportion rises to 57% among Muslims, 51% among people of color and 50% among those who wear religious symbols.

Discrimination can also take the form of insults or humiliating remarks when we ask all employees if they have ever been the subject of insulting or humiliating remarks because of their origins, we obtain only 16% of affirmative answers. But this proportion soars to 54% among Muslim employees, 40% among racialized employees and 39% among those who wear religious symbols. Insults and humiliations even peak at 57% among employees of foreign nationality.

Even more surprisingly, racialized people, Muslims or wearing religious signs, are more often the subject than others of remarks about their physique, for example their figure, their build or the way they dress.
