Abstract
The worJd's population continues to grow. PoJjcies put in place to combat unemployment are not enough to find employment. ln this population, young people face many difficulties. ln Burundi, most of them leave the countryside for the city of Bujumbura in the hope of finding employment.
From this generalized Jack of work, we notice a part of the youth that resists with small trades, including young people selling telephone credit. We are interested in the young people who practice this trade in order to understand how they fit into it, but also how they organize their work to adapt to the urban lifestyles of the city of Bujumbura. It is also a question of understanding the various perceptions ofthis activity, the identification ofthese young people in relation to their jobs, understanding the different career paths of the young people who engage in this activity, which influences their choice of sales outlets, their organization, their relations with their entourage, their appreciation of the profitabi litY of this profession and their plans for the future.
By mobilizing the qualitative method to go down to the field to collect data, provided us with relevant data on the phenomenon under study. The results show us that we are facing a positive and resilient youth. The activity they carry out is underestimated and the young people who practice this profession are from the countryside. They came for their studies and started selling telephone credits; they have their diplomas and yet they find themselves in poverty and precariousness. They have been educated in the entrepreneurial sense because they did small commercial activities in their childhood. This is why they mastered the trade by choosing places with a large number of people, places where many people meet. These places of sale do not provide the same income and the young people find it difficult to satisfy their daily needs. As they have started, the young telephone credit salesmen plan to improve
their jobs and hope one day to be hired to have a salaried job.
