Youth entrepreneurship in Congo

By Ted Malcom Mabika

In the present work, we have identified the determinants of the survival of youth businesses while focusing on the gender approach. Using data from a survey conducted by the Institut National de la Statistique (INS) in 2017, we showed with a sample of 2682 youth businesses the influence of eleven (11) variables on survival. The results obtained from the chi-square test show that survival depends on the entrepreneur's sex, age and marital status, the number of agents, turnover, sector of activity and location of the business. Subsequently, the results obtained from the logistic regression show that the entrepreneur's sex, marital status, nationality and age have a positive impact on business survival. On the other hand, sector of activity and turnover have a negative impact on business survival.
