ABSTRACT: 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.
