Description
Occupational Activity of Portuguese Immigrants in France
Taking advantage of the important needs of skilled labour force in the industrial sector during the sixties, native men of Portugal easily found a first job in France. 90 percent of them were employed as workers, half as unskilled ones. The structure of their jobs has been changed, between their arrival and 1992, like whole labour force in France : less workers, especially unskilled ones, and more middle management employees. About 10 percent of them, may be expecting to avoid unemployment, have turned self employed. Many of the native women of Portugal have employment, but they seem more confined to their condition. Their present jobs have been mainly domestic ones. The important net of relationships (both family and compatriots) inside the Portuguese community provides them a great help for that sort of job. As regards the 20-29 year-old people, either immigrants or born in France, they meet the same difficulties in finding a job as those the whole youth meet. Their mainly characteristics are in the choice of short studies and in their job structure quite similar to the one of their parents. Both adult or young natives of Portugal seem to have professionally well enough integrated the French society

Profitant des besoins importants de main- d'oeuvre non qualifiée dans le secteur industriel, au cours des années soixante, les ressortissants masculins du Portugal ont trouvé aisément un premier travail en France. 90 % d'entre eux ont été embauchés comme ouvriers, la moitié non qualifiés. L'évolution de la structure de leurs emplois, entre leur arrivée et 1992, est conforme à celle de l'ensemble des actifs résidant en France : moins d'ouvriers, surtout moins d'ouvriers non qualifiés, et plus de postes d'encadrement. Environ 10 % d'entre eux, peut-être avec l'idée d'échapper au chômage, se sont mis à leur compte. Les femmes originaires du Portugal sont très actives mais semblent plus enfermées dans leur condition. Les emplois qu'elles occupent sont encore et surtout des emplois dans les services domestiques. L'important réseau relationnel - famille ou compatriotes - au sein de la communauté portugaise, les aide beaucoup pour ce type d'emploi. Quant aux jeunes de 20 à 29 ans, qu'ils soient eux- mêmes immigrés ou nés en France, les difficultés qu'ils rencontrent pour trouver un travail sont les mêmes que celles rencontrées par l'ensemble des jeunes. Leurs caractéristiques essentielles sont qu'ils choisissent des filières courtes dans leurs études et que la structure de leurs emplois est assez peu différente de celle de leurs parents. Adultes ou jeunes d'origine portugaise semblent, sur le plan professionnel, assez bien insérés dans la société française.
