After analysis the study revealed the following results: - In terms of personal obstacles, 32.14% of respondents mentioned fear of failing after starting a business. Among respondents who were not ready to start their own business, 67.68% felt that entrepreneurship was too demanding. - As for economic obstacles, the lack of funds (38,95), and difficulties in accessing financing (84.18%) were mentioned by the majority of respondents. - As for socio-cultural obstacles, the lack of support resources (13,68%), insecurity (14.74%) and unfavorable environment (12.63%) were mentioned by respondents.

Abstract: (french)
Cette étude a été réalisée dans le but de décrire les obstacles à l’entreprenariat chez les jeunes du centre commercial de Kasenyi. Pour sa réalisation, la méthode d’enquête appuyée par l’interview semi-structurée a été utilisée auprès de 196 jeunes. L’analyse de contenu moyennant le calcul de pourcentage a servi pour l’analyse des données. Après analyse, l’étude a révélé les résultats suivants: - Pour les obstacles personnels, la peur d’échouer après avoir entrepris a été évoquée par 32,14% par les enquêtés. Parmi les enquêtés qui n’étaient pas prêts à entreprendre, 67,68% ont évoqué que l’entreprenariat est trop exigeant. - Pour les obstacles économiques, le manque de fonds (38,95), les difficultés d’accéder aux financements (84,18%) ont été évoqués par la majorité des enquêtés. - Pour les obstacles socio-culturels, le manque de moyens d’accompagnement (13,68%), l’insécurité (14,74%), l’environnement non favorable (12,63%) ont été évoqués par les enquêtés. Bien que parmi les jeunes ayant été formés en entreprenariat, quelques-uns ont réellement entrepris des activités, les obstacles restent énormes et méritent d’être analysés et contournés afin de permettre l’implication effective des jeunes dans l’entreprenariat.
