The LEST is a
Mixed Research Unit of the CNRS, the Université de la Méditerranée and the
Université de Provence since January 2000.
Initially, the
LEST was a separate research unit of the CNRS. It was established in 1969 to
reinforce French research on work and its evolution.
Its aim is still the
development of research on work, employment, training programmes and
innovation in the social sciences and humanities.
For its
foundation, and despite the constant renewal of researchers and research
objects, the LEST relies on the following methodological principles that are
highly valued by its members : pluridisciplinarity, methodological pluralism,
comparisons at different scales, contextualization, iteration between
empiricism and theory ...

The focus of the scientific
agenda of the LEST for the period 2008-2011 is the "Recomposition of Norms of
Labour, Employment and Skills". Its aim is to detail the questions that
emerged from the former scientific agenda through the analysis of "Changes in
Market Society". It is mainly based on the content and orientation of one of
the transversal axis of the 2004-2007 research programme developed from the
results of researches conducted by all LEST Programmes. This tightening of
the main research theme is the result of work undertaken by this axis and,
namely, of the awareness that significant changes have taken place in the
organization of labour market and market production and in the configuration
of actors that reconstitutes it along new normative perspectives.
Claire Bidart is, for
example, in charge of longitudinal qualitative survey by sample group calls
« Socialization and social integration » which concerns social
networks and transition to adulthood. This survey focuses on a sample group
of 87 young peoples who have been interviewed once every three years (1995,
1998, 2001, 2004, 2007). Claire Bidard study their progression toward
adulthood, interactions between their different life circles (studies, work,
couple, family, leisure, dwelling) and articulations between personal network
progression and social integration pathways.
