They examine the formal relationships between training, firms, and tasks, and move on to essential developmental aspects of in-house training in Quebec and France.

This study analyzes subjective and identity-related aspects of the educational experience of young people with a North African background in France. A survey carried out among 120 men and women, aged 18 to 25, from working-class backgrounds led us to the testing of the intra-categorical diversity hypothesis. Statistical analysis using particularly the Chi² test highlights significant correlations between different constituent variables of experiences such as alienation or personal fulfillment.

Contemporary societies are characterized by a huge circulation of all kind of knowledges. This core issue includes two major effects on the craft of sociology : on the one hand, sociologists need a great awareness about the meanings and the social impacts of their assessments, on the other hand they must plan proceedings that may authorize the maintenance of their critical posture. The analysis of youth social participation in France exemplifies the difficulties with embedded discourses shaped by policy makers, Public Administration and social actors : we find out the same notions of autonomy, project, commitment and responsibility in the three considered instances. Based on an in progress research, this paper will propose an approach that would obviate these lexical coincidences.

ABSTRACTThe RMI (basic income for insertion) brings together several actors who play antagonistic roles in a variety of settings. In exchange for a basic income, RMI recipients have to act in the play of work. Their commitment is judged by professionals, bureaucrats and elected officials, who themselves are acting in different plays, those of social work, social policy, and local politics. The contradictions between the interests and the principles of the different actors lead to absurd situations in which the claimants are the major victims. This article describes the settings in which the plays unfold and characterises the roles, from the perspective of the recipients. This stance reveals the different ways in which RMI claimants may act in the play of work, as well as the distance between their concerns and those of other actors. In the end, the issue of work seriously constrains all actors, and is an insurmountable obstacle to communication, mutual knowledge and shared understandings.

This article analyzes the role of the social and solidarity economy in personal services in France. Historically central and built around a shared objective with the public sector aimed at social utility, this role is currently being challenged by an increasingly market-oriented and competitive environment. Social utility is still, however, an element in the way these services are currently developing. A model has yet to be finalized, but their social utility is evolving around various aspects and thus opening the way to new ideas about the social and solidarity economy's role.

It is fashionable these days to talk about "productivity", all the more so since the word may be used in several meanings. Only some of them are accepted by economists. To the Groupe des Statisticiens du Commissariat Général au Plan we owe a series of definitions which, in spite of the provisory character assigned to them by their authors, will assure a certain precision and stability to the senses in which this term is accepted.
