In 2020, two out of five private and public sector employees surveyed considered that people are often or very often treated unfavorably or discriminated against in France because of their state of health or their disability. Only ten percent of the respondents believed that people with this type of condition do not experience discriminatory situations. About half of the French people surveyed felt that these situations occurred sometimes or rarely.
Do you think that today people are treated unfavorably or discriminated against because of their health condition or disability?
590 private sector employees and 500 public sector agents
Method of interview
Telephone interview
Supplementary notes
The question was phrased by the source as follows: "Pensez-vous qu’aujourd’hui, en France, des personnes sont traitées défavorablement ou discriminées en raison de leur état de santé ou leur handicap ?"
Missing percentage points to 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
