Résumé anglais Involvement or Employability Policies? Competition within the Volunteer Programs in Madagascar The youths of La Réunion suffer from a situation of lasting unemployment and, lately, they have been increasingly encouraged to become involved in international solidarity programs. One of their destinations of choice is the neighboring island of Madagascar (although it has been in the throes of a major political crisis for almost ten years now), where the young natives of La Réunion take up jobs as International Solidarity Volunteers or Foreign Civil Servants. Thanks to a field study conducted in Antananarivo (Madagascar), La Réunion and mainland France, we are able to examine these hybrid statuses (as these workers are neither employees nor volunteers) and the public policies that promote them. While these international volunteer programs sometimes act as an enthusiastic incitation to get one's foot in the door of the working world, and sometimes as a simple means to employ the unemployed, they also exist within the scope of the triangular relationship linking mainland France, its overseas départements and its former colonies. In order to understand the reorganization and reproduction these programs promote in a post-colonial context, it is therefore essential to consider both their practical effects on the young workers' path and the managerial changes they foster in local associations.
