Abstract

Street vendor means a person engaged in vending of articles, goods, food items, etc. of everyday use or offering services to the general public in a street lane, sidewalk, footpath pavements, and public parks or any other public place or private areas or from temporary built-up structure. Street vendors constitute an important segment of the urban population. Street vendors are those who are unable to get regular jobs in the remunerative formal sector on account of the low level of education and skills. Street vending provides a source of self-employment, and thus acts as a measure of poverty alleviation without Government intervention. The main objective of the study is to identify the major constraints that are faced by the vendors while operating their business.
