The established corruption in this research concerns the person who offered the bribe or who gave it after requesting it in order to obtain a public service. The present study, which analyzed data from the 2016 Unified Core Welfare Indicator Questionnaire national survey, made it possible to determine the socio-demographic and economic profile of corruptible Congolese as well as the factors associated with corruption in the demand for a public service in the DRC. Using descriptive and explanatory analyses, a close link was established between corruption and certain socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics. Indeed, corruption is more prevalent among males who live in urban areas and provincial capitals and who are between 25 and 34 years of age. This predominance of corruption is also established for people with secondary and university education and for the most part owners of their own businesses.
