520 With growing urbanisation, developing countries have seen
a sharp rise in women's participation in the informal
sector, which does not require high skilled, educated
labour. Women engaged in the informal sector do so due to
economic necessity and are, often, the sole earners in
their families. This study focuses on the socio-economic
conditions of women vendors in Moreh, a border town in
Manipur along the Indo-Myanmar border, with a special
emphasis on their livelihood, health and autonomy. A
survey was conducted in 2015-16 among 336 women street
vendors in various markets of Moreh, which has a large
concentration of them. The study found that the socio-
economic status of the women vendors was poor and that
they were mostly middle-aged married women from the lowest
social groups (ST, SC and OBC). Many of the vendors had
minimal resources to run their business and were the sole
income earners in their families. Several of them were
found to have health problems (like rheumatoid arthritis,
tuberculosis, oral and skin diseases, etc.), associated
with their working conditions and their unhealthy
lifestyle. Though these women have autonomy in financial
decisions, they do not have full autonomy in the other
aspects of their family and social life.
