SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF STREET TRADING IN BENIN CITY

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Street hawking is seen as a form of child labor which according to Uwhejevwe (2009) is caused by greed- the quest to get riches propels young boys and girls into doing a lot of things they are not supposed to do all in the pursuit of livelihood instead of employing their youthful strength on farming to produce enough food for the family. 

Street hawking is also exposed to a lot of risk and dangers, like in most city centers, traders could easily be knocked down by moving vehicles. Beside, street hawking has denied many children of school despite their ripe age of going to school (Tide Online, 2010). Teenage pregnancy is very common among street hawkers in terms of girl-child; teenage girls who hawk are gradually introduced to some anti-social vices, Umar asserted that girls as young as 13 years are trafficked as sex workers.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Street hawking among young school youths have psychologically imposed other problems, like sex networking behavior, juvenile delinquent behavior, which takes most of the youth school time that necessitated the poor academic performance and drop-out syndrome noticed among young school youths. UNICEF Nigeria stated that these children who work suffer from fatigue, irregular attendance at school, lack of comprehension and motivation, improper socialization, exposure to risk of sexual abuse and high likelihood of being involved in crime.  Nwosu (2006) conforms this by stating that during hawking, children reached the most interior part of every street in urban setting thereby exposing them to dangers. She further went on to say that the consequences street hawking has on the family and society are that this children that hawk may have dubious character especially the boys as they come in contact with other children or adult with questionable characters in areas like motor parks, stadiums and in uncompleted buildings in the town. Ebigbo, and Agba, (1990)  also stressed that sexually transmitted diseases is on the increase as these teenage hawkers want to be on the reigning fashion will embark into prostitution in other to make money. As they engage in this pre-marital sex, they count all on their gains without counting on the after effect. As these children who are still growing continue to carry goods on their head though the day and some of these loads may be too heavy for their ability, this can affect their growth which could result to stuntedness (Nwosu, 2006).
