An Estimation of the Foreign-Origin Populations of France in 1999 [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Immigration to France has continued almost without inter- ruption, albeit at varying levels, for at least the last 150 years. As in the past, the traces of this movement are visible in the compo- sition of the country’s population. In 1999, France’s resident po- pulation of foreign or partially foreign origin (immigrants or persons born in France with at least one immigrant parent or grandparent) represented around 13.5 million people, equivalent to between a quarter and a fifth of the total population. This result, obtained by Michèle TRIBALAT using the most recent census and, in particular, the Study of Family History (EHF) survey attached to the census, is very close to the same author’s 1986 estimate based on civil registration sources. But use of the EHF here al- lows the author to go further and to estimate the totals by country of origin, while excluding the descendants of repatriates from the former colonies, most notably Algeria. This refinement, which re- quires making some assumptions, proves valuable when the aim is to measure the discriminatory effects suffered by these popula- tions in key areas, such as employment, which is the example the author analyses here.
