Title A name given to the resource WHY DO FEMALE STREET VENDORS EARN LESS THAN MALE STREET VENDORS IN HARARE? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAVONGA NJAYA STANLEY IDANAI MURANGWA Description An account of the resource The study explored the factors that influenced income disparities betweenmaleand female street vendors in Harare, the capital city ofZimbabwe.Qualitative data collection techniques used in the study included in-depth personal interviews, focus group discussions, direct observations and document reviews. The study observed three categories of street vendors, namely, stationary, peripatetic and mobile vendors. Although street vending reflected the face of a woman in Harare, a majority of the female street vendors earned less than their male counterparts. The reasons for low sales and hence low daily incomes for female street vendors were varied and includeddisruptions caused by household chores including child-care; stiff competition from rising number of street vendors;men grabbed bigger vending space and more strategic vending sites; low capital investment; a majority of women traded in low volume and perishable goods such as vegetables, fruits and cooked food and less lucrative goods; female street vendors had less access to productive tools and financial capital and worked as commission agents or employees of other vendors; gender bias towards some goods like leather and electronic products which generally required a substantial investment that could only be made by male vendors and female street vendors operated in insecure and illegal spaces where they became easy targets of eviction and confiscation. The major problem faced by women vendors was that street vending was illegal in Zimbabwe. The government should formally recognise the economic activities of the street vendors which would allow them to carry on their work with dignity and freedom Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Business and Management Invention Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Gender Harare street vendor income-disparity urban public space
