  abstract = {{T}his chapter examines the key stages in the diverse educational trajectories of immigrants' descendants and {DOM} native-borns in the {F}rench educational system, up to their entry into working life. {S}everal indicators of educational trajectory or status are analysed, distinguishing systematically between males and females, and taking account of the national origins of immigrants' descendants: repeated years at primary school, tracks followed at upper secondary level, early school leaving, likelihood of obtaining a high-school diploma, failure in higher education. {T}he results reveal inequalities in academic trajectories and achievement by ethnic background and gender, and show that these inequalities do not always reflect differences in social capital and family environment. {I}n the male population especially, we cannot rule out the hypothesis that certain categories of immigrants' descendants are exposed to discrimination in schools. {T}he chapter ends with an analysis of transition from education to employment (time taken to find a job, experience of unemployment, job market integration, etc.) that reveals a segmentation of the entry into working life by country of origin. {T}he sons, but also the daughters of immigrants from {N}orth {A}frica, sub-{S}aharan {A}frica and {T}urkey have greater difficulties finding a first job},
