Abstract

The outbreak of covid-19 caused many challenges across the world. Among them street vendors were the one who affected the most. Our study aims to identify and quantify the issues street vendors faced during Covid 19 – especially, the financial impact – with specific reference to the city of Ernakulam.  The study also explores how street vendors survived the current situation. They also faced competitions from new vendors and so on. The present study includes street vendors such as cloth, vegetable or fruit sellers, street food sellers and more.The result of the study gives us a better understanding how they survived the lockdown phase.
