Review of Related Literature
In this day and age, a prudent method is needed to make money. Like entrepreneurs it
is necessary to be prudent in thinking of business strategy. In the crisis that our country is
facing now, it is so difficult for small entrepreneurs to earn, especially because they only
allocate meager capital for their small business. An example of that is the canteen
vendors in school, it is difficult for a canteen vendor to give a high price for their
products especially the one who will buy their products are students. Students that are
sometimes has no money allowance due to poverty. (Patrice E.L & Maureen B.M 2008)
Poverty is a persistent problem throughout the world and has deleterious impacts on
almost all aspects of family life and outcomes for children.
The start of what is now termed “Great Recession” began in December 2007 and
statistically end in June 2009, yet small businesses continue to struggle financially in
2012 (Patrick Geho R.) . SharitBhowmik (2005), in his investigation “Food Vendors in
Asia: A Review’s examination the food vendors, particularly in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka,
and Bangkok (Thailand), India, Singapore, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Vietnam’s Hanoi,
Cambodia and Seoul. The examination analyzed the importance of road distributing
different countries. The evaluation discovered that the number of food vendors in the
countries was rising. The quantity increased in light contraction of occupations in official
zones while there is no work to be done.
This factor is common in Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Asian tigers
are tigers, the number of counties, including Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, the
Philippines and Korea, quickly increased of food vendors following the 1998 financial
catastrophe. The government of each and every most Asian countries no longer view road
distributing as being legal.

 NarumolNirathron (2006)’s paper titled ‘Fighting Poverty from the Street-Survey on
‘Street Food Vendors in Bangkok’ was based on 3856 purchasers and 744 street vendors
meals from Bangkok Metropolis’s Klogtoey and Dindaeng neighborhoods. The research
showed that most of the vendors-about 88%-were immigrants. Most people did not start
out selling food at stands vendors. Many of them had previously worked in manual labor,
farming and other related fields. Workforce and monthly salary. About 56% of people
were street vendors individually. Operations, of which 44% were family businesses. Only
48% vendors said they wanted to be independent. Roughly 97% thought that vending
offered a lot of potential for income 80% or earned.
D.Saha(2011)’s study indicated that Mumbai’s street merchants are among the
most portions of the working poor in cities that are weak and miserable. They obtain a
living by hostile environment, with constant demand from all parties-the local
government, the police, community organizations, civic leaders and moneylenders. Only
by way of joining the hands so that they can work together to fulfill their demands. The
minimal rate, it is clear from active union membership that vendors are aware of their
rights and generally lacks responsibility. Intermediaries profit from the slackness of
association between the vendors and take full use of this.

it. If someone wants to prove something, then they must do it in a way that doesn't
waste their investment.
