title: [Places and agents:  the ethnic and sexual division of labor in Quebec from 1931 to 1981].
abstract: The socio-professional distribution of Quebec's total labor force has changed during the 20th century, as one can observe from the 1931-81 Canadian censuses that provide comparative occupation codes.  As well, the sexual and ethnic composition of the labor force has changed substantially during this period.  The authors analyze the manner in which these sexual and ethnic cleavages are, at various moments, called upon to assign agents to different places in the division of labor; in particular, it is a matter of seeing how the dominated groups, defined by these 2 cleavages, are used to fulfill the lower functions of the work hierarchy.  The use of complex models of the linear log type makes it possible to distinguish, on the 1 hand, crude effects relating the reality experienced by sexual and ethnic groups in the labor force, and, on the other hand, the net effects corresponding to the more or less permanent, but less evident, rules which govern these groups' access to the various jobs.
