Inégalités d’accès au logement social : peut on parler de discrimination

Liliane Bonnal, Rachid Boumahdi, and Pascal Favard

Abstract

This work studies the differences in duration of access to social housing among European households and non-European households from the housing survey (INSEE, Paris, 2006). The idea here is to highlight a possible discrimination against non-European households. We show that non-European households, all other things being equal, longer access times. Decomposition methods adapted possible to show that a significant part of this difference may be due to discrimination.
