Entrepreneurship of Chines Immigrants in Senegal: Socioeconomic Impacts and Perceptions of Local Traders
The purpose of this work is to show first how local traders and other actors in this Senegalese sector perceive the presence of Chinese traders in the Senegalese commercial area and then to highlight the socio-economic impact of Chinese commercial activity on the Senegalese economy. Our obtained results, using a qualitative method, make it possible to say that the relations between local traders and their Chinese counterparts can be characterized as complementary, collaborative and competitive. For some people, besides creating jobs, it has made it possible to have cheap products. For others, it has increased competition and encouraged the development of a real informal economy.
