Labour market problems

This study is justified by the fact that from conception, through birth to the end of the employment contract between employer and employee, the primary task falls to the ONEM. Despite the presence of the ONEM, the employment market operates informally in the city of Kisangani. In most cases, we see the activities of economic operators taking place in the city without the public employment service par excellence being informed, and most of them content themselves with recruiting labour according to their job offers referred to the ONEM, while a good number of them even recruit without consulting the service in question. This inadequate situation caught our attention, because there are public schools springing up like mushrooms, local NGDOs, private foundations, hotels, shops, commercial enterprises, petrol stations, etc., including a large number of health centres that recruit people in breach of the Congolese labour code.
