Mobilités étudiantes et socialisations professionnelles en France et au Québec

Abstract

This article describes the process of elaboration of a comparative study which follows the social approach, focusing on the international mobility of French and Quebecois exchange students. After presenting the different characteristics of this phenomenon within the two social contexts, which allows us to better situate the theoretical and methodological choices of this study, the results illustrate the different conditions and terms for the construction of a typology as an instrument of comparative analysis. This typological approach enables us to identify the parameters which come into play in the construction of practices of mobility and for selecting and obtaining a job in the two societies.
