Résumé
À partir du cas des personnes admises provisoirement dans le cadre de la procédure d’asile en Suisse, cet article analyse les effets des catégories juridiques construites par les États sur les conditions de vie des personnes définies comme étrangères à la citoyenneté restreinte. Il met en évidence que la précarité de ce statut juridique peut conduire à renforcer la précarité socio-économique et limiter la marge de manœuvre des migrants pour faire face aux difficultés de l’existence. L’article est basé sur des analyses secondaires d’informations statistiques et juridiques et sur des entretiens semi-directifs avec des personnes étant ou ayant été au bénéfice d’une admission provisoire.
