The analysis was performed using the techniques of descriptive statistics and life stories. The study revealed that 44% of respondents venture into the street vendors by the lack of employment, 26% attribute it to low education and 13% having no job and career skills. We found that the informal traders’ ages go from 40 to 50 years of age having a basic level of education (primary) and there are also those ranging between 18 and 30 years of age, and with high school level, within the same issue. This is a problem that the Federal government and State should address, because more and more young people are participating in the informal economy of the country.
