Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low industrial growth, declining agricultural sector and limited expansion of formal sector employment in India have increasingly forced the poor to take recourse to informal sources of livelihoods. Street vending is one such thriving source of self-employment across cities. This book delves into the sustenance and survival strategies of street vendors across 17 cities in India and assesses the issues revolving around self-created markets, livelihood and politics that are contested in public space. It also presents a conceptual and theoretical understanding of different socio-economic and policy concerns pertaining to street vending in the country. The study shows how despite the absence of legal frameworks and institutional support, these urban self-employed informal workers subsist by arranging ad-hoc alternatives, creating informal institutions and negotiating with formal and informal actors in the market. It also discusses the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014, and examines how inclusive the legal recognition is for these workers of informal economy. Drawing on exhaustive research and a wealth of primary data, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers in development studies, labour studies, economics, sociology and those in public policy and urban planning.

This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the product of a study conducted by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Ministry of Urban Housing and Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA). Its objective is to highlight some of the problems faced by street vendors in conducting their daily business and to examine how financial institutions, especially those in the banking sector, can include street vendors in their credit policies. Data was collected from 15 cities across the country. Not surprisingly, while issues such as public space utilisation have been deliberated upon at length, those concerning the nature of credit transactions and concurrently the financial inclusion of street vendors have scarcely received focussed attention. In the absence of formal credit, street vendors largely depend on loan sharks, who charge high interest rates ranging from 350% to 800% per annum. The problem of formal credit aside, another equally important factor is the inflexible attitude of the civic authorities towards street vending. Given their informal status, this is particularly apparent because they are forced to conduct business in the absence of legal protection, making them vulnerable to rent seeking by the authorities. The acceptance of the National Policy for Urban Street Vendors by a few states and the subsequent bill to protect the livelihood of street vendors should help them gain legitimacy and subsequently credit to run their businesses at proper rates. The book examines and analyses these issues.

Download or read book Urban Daily Labour Markets in Gujarat Western India written by Kanchan Bharati and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores one of the most complex labour landscapes of India - the urban daily labour market. These markets form an important sector of the urban informal labour market and contribute significantly to the Indian economy. This book presents an empirical, comparative picture of daily labour markets, in Gujarat, Western India. These markets consist mostly of intra-state and interstate migrant workers who suffer from layered multiple marginalities based on markers of informality, migrant status, caste, ethnicity, gender and poor agency and often live in the peripheries of the cities without any rights and entitlements to their spaces and services. This study, based on an extensive survey of three cities in Gujarat, contains descriptions and analyses of the places of migration and their causes as well as the working and living conditions of the workers along with their spending patterns on food, health, education and leisure. It mirrors the work, life and issues of these workers on the regional level while contributing to a better understanding for future policy interventions. An in-depth study, the book will be of interest to students and researchers of labour economics, labour studies, urban planning, social work, sociology, anthropology, and demography. It will also be useful to NGOs/trade unions working with migrant workers, civil servants in Labour department and other related departments, city planners and policy makers.

This book was released on 2021-09-18 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asymmetry of Information and Lending Risk Livelihood pattern of Street Vendors in India. This study focuses on street vendors and their related problems to access credit from formal banking institutions. our formal sector faces the risk of asymmetric information in lending to street vendors due to which street vendors lack access to institutional financing. On the other side, public authorities normally regard street vendors as encroachers of sidewalks and pavements and do not appreciate the valuable services, which street vendors are providing to the common man. Social security coverage of street vendors is very small. Here member base organizations have a positive impact on the life of street vendors. Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), who are providing social security schemes to street vendors are few in number (2009, National Policy on Urban Street Vendors). Street Vendors provide valuable services at a cheaper price to the urban population while trying to earn a livelihood and it is the duty of the State to protect the right of this segment of the population to earn their livelihood. So, this book highlights the issues and challenges faced by street vendors and also provides feasible solutions for their development.
