3. Résumé
«First, we note the particular nature of the migratory experience, especially professional downgrading amongst highly educated, professionally skilled young people, who arrived within the last ten years. The effect of financial constraints on access to food products is even more pronounced in the less educated subsamples. […]We have also shown the effects of FI [food insecurity] and of immigration on the consumption of certain foods for the EFI [experiencing food insecurity] group, and we have revealed that the foods concerned are principally those which provide key nutrients most recommended for a varied, high-quality diet. […] In addition, we observe the appearance of a dualism (or ambivalence) between the need to manage and regulate dietary practices, while taking account of new constraints, especially financial, but also on the basis of the representations of food mostly rooted in premigratory socialization.» (p. 42) Cet article présente plusieurs statistiques concernant l’insécurité alimentaire en fonction de la situation familiale ou conjugale des participants. Les auteurs remarquent d’ailleurs les personnes habitants seules ont plus de chance de souffrir d’insécurité alimentaire. Les familles avec enfants sont celles qui ont le moins de chance d’en souffrir.
