Abstract | Street vending is a crucial source of livelihood for many urban poor, especially in regions like Aizawl, Mizoram, where formal employment opportunities are limited. This study investigates the socio-demographic profile, working conditions, income stability, and institutional support available to street vendors in Aizawl City. Based on quantitative data from 62 vendors across major vending locations, the findings reveal that the sector is predominantly occupied by women, with most vendors facing long working hours, poor infrastructure, and limited access to health and financial services. Despite challenges such as exposure to weather, lack of shelter, and minimal legal protection, vendors demonstrate resilience and adaptability. The study highlights the urgent need for inclusive urban policies to enhance vendors’ welfare, ensure safer work environments, and provide formal recognition to secure their livelihoods. |
