Correspondence tests have become a reference method in international academic literature on discrimination. In France, as in many other countries, researchers are applying them to an increasing number of prohibited criteria in a growing number of fields. In so doing, they shed light on the specificities of gender as a criterion of discrimination. In the field of access to the job market, as in that of access to housing, women are not systematically penalized, even if this is very real in certain specific professions. The criteria of origin, disability or address are associated with penalties in access to employment in all the professions tested. However, gendered penalties are indeed systematic for all professions and organizations in the formation of salaries and careers, which is not always the case for other discrimination criteria.
