In my country, the Hawkers keep in increasing day by day because of the lack of employment opportunities and Jobs.
Therefore the uncertainty for the business and the trekking with the business products on longerl distances without knowing exactly where and who would buy from them.

The two outstanding ones are being hit by drivers and getting robbed in broad daylight. it is a terrible challenge for them

Most people don't buy from them as a result of the fear that they sell fake and defective goods.

I agree with you about people having the mindset that they sell fakes. They believe if you have the money to sell original items you would have had money to rent a shop to sell them.

Harassment and bribes:
Hawkers can face harassment and extortion by local authorities or individuals, including requests for bribes.
