Abstract
Nowadays, entrepreneurship remains an alternative to cope with youth unemployment in order to allow them to increase income. Many factors influence their intention to start personal business. This study examines the relationship between social fund and entrepreneurial intention of young finalist girls from Bukavu town in the Democratic Republic of Congo. For so doing, the model of entrepreneurial intention inspired by previous studies was tested on a sample of 220 finalist girls from Bukavu whose age varies between 22 and 30 years. Data processing was carried out using successively exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression. Outcomes indicated that social fund significantly and positively influences the entrepreneurial intention of the finalist girls in Bukavu town. We found that the likelihood of young finalist girls intending to undertake in a sector is higher when they think that entrepreneurial activity is valued positively in their environment and when they know other entrepreneurs in their environment. Training the finalist girls on the implementation of their innovative ideas, improving the business environment and supporting young entrepreneurs' associations thus become important to enable young people to contribute to the development of their community through the creation of wealth through their businesses.
