Résumé 0

In France, the nomenclature of the social and occupational groups occupied for a long time a central place in the representation of the world conveyed by the National Institute of Statistics and of Economic Studies. From an exhaustive study of two French statistical publications, the authors show that the uses of the social category decline for some years for the benefit of two other variables, the diploma and the income. Such an evolution is due to the rise of econometric models but also by the transformation of the conditions of recruitment and training of statisticians. In a country where the public statistics constitute an obvious reference, a social blind representation of the world tends to lead.
