Abstract
Selon les données MICS1 le taux net de scolarité était de 56% en 1995,de 51,7% en 2001,il est passé à 61,% en 2007.A cette allure l’atteinte de l’OMD2 est compromise. D’où la nécessité de
repenser les politiques et stratégies pouvant redresser les paramètres à mi- chemin pour l’atteinte des OMD en 2015.
Notre propos est de ressortir l’impact du niveau socio-économique du ménage sur la scolarisation des enfants, indicateur ignoré ou négligé par les décideurs. Cependant, il semble que le milieu de
résidence influence négativement ou positivement la scolarisation des enfants, généralement dans le milieu rural les ménages sont pauvres par rapport au milieu urbain. A partir de la base
des données de l’EDS 2007, nous allons procéder à une analyse multi variée entre les ménages pauvres et les ménages plus nantis, en vue déceler si les conditions socio-économiques et le milieu influencent différemment la scolarisation des enfants.

Title (Translated)
School enrolment of children from poor families: a secondary analysis of DHS 2007 data
Abstract (Translated)
According to MICS1 data, the net primary school enrolment ratio in the Democratic Republic of Congo was 56% in 1995, 51.7% in 2001, and still just 61% in 2007. With such a slow pace of change, the country is unlikely to achieve MDG 2. Hence the need to rethink current policies and strategies at this halfway mark in order to improve the parameters and ensure MDG achievement by 2015. The aim of this paper is to highlight the impact of households’ socioeconomic level on primary school enrolment - an indicator that has so far been neglected by decision-makers. Children’s place of residence also appears to have an effect on their school enrolment, this being especially noticeable in rural areas, where households are poorer than they are in towns and cities. Drawing on the DHS 2007 database, we will therefore run a multivariate analysis comparing poor and more prosperous households, in order to ascertain whether place of residence (urban or rural) and socioeconomic conditions have differing effects on children's school enrolment.
