Profils types des salariés du secteur privé : approche par une classification des carrières

Private-sector employees follow highly varied career paths. To reduce this diversity, we cluster employees by means of a classification of their career profiles. The shifts in the representativeness of the clusters between the 1935 and 1960 birth cohorts illustrate several changes in the labor market in recent decades. We find a persistent “hard core” of long, steady, high-wage careers, and a growing share of precarious careers marked by unemployment spells and low wages.
