ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to analyze the determinants of job satisfaction among young people engaged in informal employment in the Republic of Congo. Statistical and econometric analyses were conducted using data taken from the Transition to Working Life Survey (ETVA-2022). Using these data, we proceeded from conducted the econometric analysis to estimating a job satisfaction model using the “cmp” technique presented by Roodman (2011). The results reveal that salary is a determinant that exerts a positive effect on job satisfaction. On the other hand, living with a partner, not enjoying job benefits (maternity/paternity leave) and working more than 48 hours are factors that exert a negative impact on job satisfaction. In light of these results, we recommend that policy-makers continue developing policies to improve wages, increase young people’s access to job benefits and enhance their remuneration over time.
