«L'Invention du chômage», essay by Robert Salais, Nicolas Baverez and Bénédicte Reynaud (PUF, paperback, 288 pp., in French).
A collective work that analyzes how unemployment was constructed as a social and administrative category in France between the 1890s and 1980s. The authors show that the unemployed were not a specific population before statistics and public policies defined the category.
Published in 1999 in the Quadrige collection from PUF. The original subtitle is «Histoire et transformation d'une catégorie en France des années 1890 aux années 1980».
For readers interested in social history, economics and employment policies, and in how statistical categories shape reality.
