About street vendor

Do you know a problem of street vendor in Seoul? I know that all street vendors are illegal. But we do not kick them out other place.

How to deal with a problem of street vendor?? I knew that most owner of street vendor was poor people. A problem of street vendor do not explain and judgment without our society’s poverty

Especially, around 1990, IMF resulted in the layoff of over 550,000 people. So unemployment shaped street vendor are increased. And they struggled to succeed their business.

Is it really kicked them out to do that?

15years ago, my aunt was not yet 1 year in her house, moving other house. Because of she had not money. So she bought a handcart. Because of she wanted establishing her business.  At that time, I don’t know poverty. My aunt always was tired. But she did not rest. But thanks to street vendor, she saved a little money. So she could buy a house.

One reason that I mentioned story is that poor person did not have a power of rising in person. So we have to permit establishing their business. Street vendor is important field to help poor person improve their economies. I suggest that government collect taxes a little than other store owner. And government waits to rise themselves.

We should have to make an environment in which poor people live themselves.

Other opinion is that street vendor is our culture itself. Street vendor offer a verity of things. if you seen a product of street vendor, you will feel funny. Now, street vendors must go to develop a single cultural code. Government do not kicking them out and accept and must development for cultural code.
