In France, unemployment affects non-European origin foreigners three times more and paradoxically hits young graduates from immigrant backgrounds even harder. Access to employment is discriminatory for individuals who do not match the reference candidate profile (a young, white-skinned man without disabilities, etc.). We are witnessing the beginning of discrimination prevention efforts, with the creation of tools and dashboards that help prevent anything that can generate direct or indirect discrimination in any public or private organization.
