Abstract

Ce papier met en évidence le lien entre la forte mobilité des jeunes en République Démocratique du Congo et leur engagement dans l’entrepreneuriat. En effet, malgré la destruction d’infrastructures de transport du fait de la longue période de guerre qu’elle a traversé, la RDC a une population dont la mobilité au sein du territoire national est des plus importantes, avec un taux de mobilité interne de plus de 20%, particulièrement parmi les jeunes de 15 à 30 ans. Attirés par la diversité d’opportunités que procure celle des ressources à travers le pays, ces migrants sont nombreux à s’orienter vers des activités entrepreneuriales dans leurs nouvelles localisations. A partir des données de l’enquête 1-2- 3 réalisée en 2005 par l’Institut National de la Statistique de la RD Congo (INS)en collaboration avec l’Observatoire Économique et Statistique d’Afrique Subsaharienne (AFRISTAT), ce papier dresse le profil du jeune migrant interne, fait ressortir les déterminants de sa décision de migrer ainsi que les zones de destination privilégiée. Il établit aussi le lien entre le profil du jeune migrant et son engagement dans l’entrepreneuriat.
