En ligne sur http://cemapre.iseg.utl.pt/educonf/2e3/files/submissions_to_web/Branche-Seigeot%20Aline.doc; The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the important technological but also organizational innovations during the last decades have transformed the labor market and the jobs nature. One major consequence of this on employment has been the gradual rise in qualifications' structure sought and demanded by employers. However, the expansion of higher education contributed to depreciate diplomas proportionately more widespread in the labor market due to a greater skills' heterogeneity of their owners. Since high basic skills levels protect against unemployment, they are also essential to understand the individuals' allocation to a particular labor market position (employment, unemployment or inactivity). What is their role for : - dropouts, poorly signalled by their diploma level ? - old workers, who have a risk of cognitive skills depreciation ? - migrant people, often victims of discrimination ? - people living in critical urban areas (called ZUS in French), who have less social capital ?
