Expérience professionnelle et employabilité des jeunes. Retombées sur le développement économique de la République démocratique du Congo

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, young people face a real obstacle that prevents them from entering the world of work. Professional experience is a real barrier for young people looking for their first job, a situation that amounts to systematic exclusion of young people, contributing to soaring youth unemployment rates and preventing them from participating in the economy. Given that employment is a powerful lever for economic development, and considering that the Congolese population is largely dominated by young people, does the requirement for professional experience, which is generally at least five years, undermine the economic development of the Democratic Republic of Congo? This study aims to demonstrate the role that mass youth employment can play in economic development and attempts to find solutions that could enable young people to enter the world of work by breaking down the barrier of professional experience and meeting the 2030 Agenda, more specifically Sustainable Development Goal 8.
