Lutte contre les discriminations par la pratique de tests individuels et statistiques

This French private member's bill, tabled in the National Assembly during the 17th legislature, concerns the use of testing to uncover discrimination. Testing methods typically involve sending comparable applicants or requests that differ only in a protected characteristic, then comparing the outcomes. Individual tests examine specific cases, while statistical tests look at patterns across many cases. Based on the title alone, the bill aims to make these methods a stronger tool for combating discrimination. The bill would most directly affect employers, landlords, service providers, and the public bodies and associations that carry out or rely on such testing. Individuals who experience discrimination, particularly in hiring and housing, could also be affected by any resulting changes in enforcement.
