The end of privilege? An analysis of the class pay gap in France over a quarter of a century

Résumé

Recent research from Laurison and Friedman (2016, 2019) has uncovered the existence of a “class pay gap” within managerial and professional occupations – so called “high-end” occupations – in Great Britain. Based on income inequality according to social background, the concept of “class pay gap” highlights that those who climb the social ladder earn on average less than those who come from high social strata. The main research question this paper addresses is whether there exists a class pay gap in France, in particular within high-end occupations, and whether this class pay gap decreased over time in France? We also focus on the role played by education in this respect.
