Professional integration which is a powerful lever for the autonomy of young people is becoming increasingly difficult because of unemployment. The latter is explained by the economic crisis, job insecurity or the segmentation of labour among others. The recent and painful "Arab spring" came as a supplement to signify ill being of a young population in lack of pointers to their employability. We thought appropriate to consider the threshold of the need for social esteem in the Cameroonian context, where statistics show a high rate of unemployment. We are particularly interested in job-seekers registered with the National Employment Fund of Douala-Bali. This study has as focus the level of agreement they have with regard to the choice of a strategy to facilitate their integration into the labour market in Cameroon in general and Douala in particular. A sample of 120 subjects was obtained from the criterion of detention, at least, of the 'Baccalauréat' which is the first academic degree. A questionnaire developed by us on the basis of the inventory of self-esteem of Bouvard et al. (2003) has been administered. A scale has been developed to assess self-esteem in social situations. The results obtained following an analysis of the correlations of the different variables show on one hand that job seekers need a strong self-esteem in a situation of quest for insertion. In addition, the more the need for esteem varies, the more the strategy differs from those formal to those so-called informal.

Abstract
Professional integration which is a powerful lever for the autonomy of young people is becoming increasingly difficult because of unemployment. The latter is explained by the economic crisis, job insecurity or the segmentation of labour among others. The recent and painful "Arab spring" came as a supplement to signify ill being of a young population in lack of pointers to their employability. We thought appropriate to consider the threshold of the need for social esteem in the Cameroonian context, where statistics show a high rate of unemployment. We are particularly interested in job-seekers registered with the National Employment Fund of Douala-Bali. This study has as focus the level of agreement they have with regard to the choice of a strategy to facilitate their integration into the labour market in Cameroon in general and Douala in particular. A sample of 120 subjects was obtained from the criterion of detention, at least, of the 'Baccalauréat' which is the first academic degree. A questionnaire developed by us on the basis of the inventory of self-esteem of Bouvard et al. (2003) has been administered. A scale has been developed to assess self-esteem in social situations. The results obtained following an analysis of the correlations of the different variables show on one hand that job seekers need a strong self-esteem in a situation of quest for insertion. In addition, the more the need for esteem varies, the more the strategy differs from those formal to those so-called informal.

Abstract: (french)
L'insertion professionnelle qui est un levier puissant de l'autonomie des jeunes devient de plus en plus difficile du fait du chômage. Ce dernier s'explique par la crise économique, la précarité de l'emploi ou la segmentation du travail entre autres. Le récent et douloureux « printemps arabe » est venu s'ajouter pour signifier le mal être d'une population jeune en manque de repère face à leur insertion professionnelle. Il nous a paru opportun d'étudier le seuil du besoin d'estime sociale en contexte camerounais, où les statistiques font état d'un fort taux de chômage. Nous nous sommes particulièrement intéressés aux demandeurs d'emploi inscrits au Fonds National de l'Emploi de Douala-Bali. Il s'agissait d'étudier le niveau d'accord qu'ils ont quant au choix d'une stratégie visant à faciliter leur insertion sur le marché de l'emploi au Cameroun en général et à Douala en particulier. Un échantillon de 120 sujets a été constitué à partir du critère de la détention, au moins, du Baccalauréat qui est le premier diplôme universitaire. Un questionnaire élaboré par nos soins sur la base de l'inventaire d'estime de soi de Bouvard et coll (2003) leur a été administré. Une échelle a été développée pour évaluer l'estime de soi dans les situations sociales. Les résultats obtenus, à la suite d'une analyse des corrélations des différentes variables, montrent d'une part que les demandeurs d'emploi ont un fort besoin d'estime de soi en situation de quête d'insertion. En outre, plus le besoin d'estime varie, plus la stratégie diffère allant de celles formelles vers celles dites informelles.
Author Keywords: estime sociale, stratégies, insertion professionnelle, demandeurs d'emploi.
