  ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the channels through which young people in Congo access and seek employment. To achieve this goal, we relied on contemporary job search theory. The results obtained from a bivariate probit model on the basis of data from the survey carried out by the “Laboratoire de Recherches et d’Etudes Economiques et Sociales” in 2018 on the employability of young people showed that social networks are the channel through which young people access employment and that the informal sector offers more employment to young people than the formal sector. These results allow us to formulate some implications for economic policies relating to employment access and job search channels in Congo.
