A Welfare Model of Street Vendors: Cases from Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia

Desak Putu Eka Nilakusmawati, Made Susilawati, Geoffrey Wall

Abstract


This study determines the socio-economic characteristics of street vendors in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia and proposes a welfare model to examine their well-being. The results showed that street vendors in Denpasar are mostly male, married, with an average age of 39. Most are recent migrants who rent their housing. The majority sell food and beverages from carts and work almost 8 hours per day. Most are self-employed and may be assisted by family labor. Most do not do bookkeeping for their business activities and many are not registered businesses. Most have little access to capital and do not participate in empowerment programs in the form of education/training in business skills. Binary logistic regression analysis shows that the incomes of street vendors are related positively to marital status, age, employment status, physical facilities, and presence of bookkeeping.
