Many scholars have written seminal articles on the growing phenomenon of street hawking in major cities of the country.

As the country’s middle class begins to expand, the quest for survival by the deprived and marginalized in the society has pushed many jobless young ones into the streets.

Street hawking was in the past restricted to the central business districts of Accra, Kejetia and the Adum areas in Kumasi as well as some few travellers’ stops on some major highways in the country. Kpong, Atimpoku, Nsawam, all in the Eastern and Winneba Junction are good examples.
