Résumé anglais One of the main aims of the «missions locales» when they were set up in 1982 was to counter rising unemployment among 16-25 year olds and assist them in their integration. However, the institution has progressively departed from its original target to concentrate on the socialisation of young people, stage considered as a prerequisite to professional integration. The ambiguity surrounding the notion of integration requires the actors of the «mission locale» to regularly define the scale and scope of their work. Everything seems to substantiate the fact that the "mission locale" has become a youth monitoring agency (fact that is borne out by the contents of the recommended actions which reflect the dominant cultural model) a kind of mediator between the economic market, political expectations and youth claims. Beyond the ideological effects generated by the practices of the «mission locale», our queries relate essentially to the ambiguity work/activity. It would appear that a possible way-out from the paradoxes experienced by the actors of the "mission locale" resides in a repositioning of the notion ofemployability in the light of the lessons and clarifications provided by the «solidarity economy». This article refers to the grassroots experience of a "mission locale" in the area of Pas-de-Calais which currently sees about 7000 young people. The main ideas emerging from this text are incorporated in a four year research project by CEFRESS (a supervisory laboratory).
