The study was a descriptive survey among 37 youths who were randomly sampled at potential hawking terminals along Sango-Ojoo road.

Findings revealed a preponderance of female youth hawkers who had attained secondary education. The causative factors motivating youths to hawk include; low level of education, household size, occupation of hawkers’ employers and income. The study further established a statistical significance between street hawking and vulnerability of the youths in human environments.
