| Résumé : | Several concurrent hypotheses have been proposed in order to take into account the persistence of under-employment of persons aged over 50, in France . In this paper, we are interested in the labour demand. We construct and implement an experimental protocol allowing testing four hypotheses currently discussed: the unobservable distance from retirement by the recruiter; the supposed depreciation of skills in a context with repeated technological shocks; the supposed inability of professional retraining, eventually differentiated by gender; a taste discrimination against older workers, as the result of social norms. To test eac h of these hypotheses, we have conducted four separate campaigns of testing for evaluating them. Between mid-January and mid-August 2015, we have sent, 6 361 applications allocated on seven oc cupations and twenty-eight profiles. The research investigates a statistical processing of results of these testings. Our results indicate which must necessarily combine several hypotheses to take into account the under-employment of seniors, in France: the difficulties of professional retraining followi ng a shock in the employment career; the social norms inducing a negative representation of the older workers through the employers. Seniors are both victims of the depreciation of the human c apital and age discriminations in access to employment, which will especially penalise men in t heir professional retraining. The classical explanation by the distance from retirement is the only one which isn’t statistical validated. (source: report) |
