Background and aim of study:
The number of women street vendors has increased as they take up street vending as a means of survival and livelihood due to high unemployment rate levels and low barriers to entry. Nowadays, incomes earned within the informal sector, especially from micro-enterprise enterprises such as street vending, are meager and inconsistent. Generally, informal street vendors face four typical constraints: economic pressures, socio-cultural challenges, operational challenges, and adverse political conditions and policies.
