ABSTRACT
In France, immigrants' excess of mortality was higher than natives' during the Spring 2020 lockdown. Were immigrants in frontline jobs and more exposed to Covid-19? Based on a nationally representative survey, we model the probability to work in a frontline job according to migratory status, taking sociodemographic and occupational characteristics into account. Compared to natives (Metropolitan France), being an African immigrant was associated to higher probability to work in a frontline job [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.82 (1.23-2.71)], as well as being born in French Overseas Departments [aOR = 1.64 (1.23-2.18)], reflecting racial division of work and higher Sars-Cov-2 exposure of immigrant and minority populations.
