Abstract
The underground of the countries of Africa south of the Sahara is full of enormous potentialities and raw materials of all kinds. But the population of Africa in general and of Africa south of the Sahara, in particular, remains the poorest in the world. A contrast which can be justified by the political and economic instability, the corollary of which is poor management, the drop in the standard of living. The economic potential of these countries does not reflect the level of populations that generally languish in enormous poverty without real livelihoods. Beginning in the 1980s, a large-scale economic crisis shook virtually all African countries because of the stringent restrictions and measures imposed by the Bretton Woods institutions, notably the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. In order to cope with the increasingly difficult living conditions, the populations of which were the main victims, that is to say, the populations will gradually organize themselves and several activities will emerge. These activities are part of the informal sector. It is, therefore, a sector that brings together unemployed people looking for employment and societal well-being who organize themselves to face everyday problems. This means that it is a lucrative sector that is constantly absorbing unemployment in Congo in general and Brazzaville in particular.

The countries of sub-Saharan Africa have very important natural potentialities which are the corollary of their immense fauna and flora, as well as of the very varied soil and subsoil
The Republic of Congo otherwise known as CongoBrazzaville, to differentiate it from its neighbor the Democratic Republic of Congo or Congo-Kinshasa did not remain on the margin of this situation

Summary
The countries of sub-Saharan Africa have very important natural potentialities which are the corollary of their immense fauna and flora, as well as of the very varied soil and subsoil. In order to cope with the increasingly difficult living conditions, the populations of which were the main victims, that is to say, the populations will gradually organize themselves and several activities will emerge These activities are part of the informal sector. In Congo-Brazzaville, and in the capital city of Brazzaville, the deterioration in purchasing power, the delay in paying civil servants salaries, and the rise in prices of basic necessities in the market have pushed many households to carry out certain activities related to the informal sector, in order to cope with the new living conditions and the urban problems facing them. While the informal sector and the informal economy generate enormous benefits, it is important to note that the consequences of this saving and lucrative activity are significant This is justified by the fact that workers do not benefit from social protection, consumers have no guarantee. Incontestable and constitutes a macrocephalic city (Nzoussi, 2017)
