Natives of the Antilles and Reunion Island suffer a significant penalty in terms of educational and professional opportunities compared to metropolitan residents., even compared to those from less advantaged regions, according to a study by France Stratégie.
Of comparable social origin, The natives of these territories have 20 % to 25 % of chance in less to obtain a diploma in superior, About 12 % chance in less access to employment, and 35 % to 45 % of chance in less to hold a framework position. A large gap is also observed in terms of professional opportunities between those who left (A quarter of the natives of Reunion, Almost 40 % for natives of the Antilles) and those who have remained overseas. If this link between interregional mobility and more important opportunities is also found in mainland France, The differential between mobiles and non-mobiles is much more marked to overseas. Those who have migrated benefit on average from a situation close to that of metropolitans. Of comparable social origin, The natives who have migrated around France are almost as often graduated from the superior as metropolitan and even have a slightly higher employment rate. However, The situation is more contrasted for access to the status of executive : While there is almost no longer any gap between metropolitan and natives of the meeting emigrated to comparable social origin, The natives of the Antilles have a rate of executives still 30 % lower.
