15、training at some point in the future. Despite the small number of participants who were formally trained, most vendors had some form of waste disposal (usually a rubbish bin or bag) nearby, and most had water near their

18、 situations where they felt harassed bythe municipal authorities or police. These participants described situations where they were asked to leave the area, had their cart or food destroyed, or had their carts confiscate

19、d and had to pay a fine or bribe to retrieve their cart and cooking equipment. These par- ticipants spoke of the insecurity they felt in their profession and for their families. When speaking about the jobs that they wis

22、 that they only take a day off work during festivals, or in the case of illness or an emergency. Fewer than half of the vendors reported being sick recently.Table 1Vendor demographics.Age n (%)20 and under 2 (6.5)21e30 1
