Street Vendors in Vietnam

Short Cultural and Economic Insight

Abstract

The practice of selling goods on the street is widespread and significant in Vietnamese culture because it enables individuals with lower incomes to make a living and gives them access to more reasonably priced food options. This study looks at the cultural and economic significance of street vendors in Vietnam, including their influence on the cuisine of the country as well as the country's informal economy. The findings shed light on the significance of street vending with regard to the maintenance of traditional culinary practices and the formation of a sense of community among local residents.
