REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

RELATED LITERATURE
In cities, street sellers make up a sizable portion of the unofficial economy. Most
of the people who can afford to patronize these peddlers are themselves impoverished,
but the low- and no-end products they sell are in high demand among the lower middle
class (Destombes 2010).
It's important to remember that in densely populated places, there are frequently
too many vegetable vendors competing with one another. We need to make a
distinction between legal and illegal street vendors in this context. Unlicensed vendors
work in dangerous conditions, constantly risking eviction from public streets, whereas
licensed merchants have a formal partnership with municipal authorities and public
officials (Cuvi, 2016).
For many years, hawkers and peddlers have been an integral part of the
underground market (Nani, 2016). In spite of the fact that hawkers' enterprises play an
important part in the informal economy, add value to the vitality of cities, and represent
an obvious component of the general economy, they are constantly at risk of
displacement from sidewalks and packed markets (Recio and Gomez, 2013). (Khan and
Quaddus, 2020).

RELATED STUDIES
Problems arise when unlicensed street sellers set up shop in public areas
and traditional marketplaces, impacting locals, shoppers, and authorities alike. When
they arise, they can exacerbate existing social tensions and even spark acts of violence
(Tonda and Kepe, 2016). In addition, they routinely accuse them of drug trade and
counterfeiting, and they frequently hire minors, either independently or with their parents
(Estrada, 2016).
The opportunity to enter the informal sector, particularly as street vendors, is
wide open due to the unlimited demand and supply of labor, and these factors
encourage the poor to work in this industry. The limited urban resources available to the
poor, such as property, capital, and information, (2) the difficulty of entering the formal
sector, which requires certain conditions that the poor cannot meet, and (3) the difficulty
of entering the formal sector, all contribute to the poor's decision to work in this industry
(Handoko 2011).
