Poverty Pushes Children onto Streets in Irbid
The study sheds light on the suffering of children in Irbid who work as street vendors. The results show that 70% of them have dropped out of school and work after school hours or during vacations to support their families. It also reveals that approximately 41% possess basic commercial skills. The majority face challenging economic conditions, with most families earning between 200 and 400 Jordanian dinars per month. The study indicates that this phenomenon is intertwined with health and psychological issues such as fatigue, disabilities, and exposure to bullying. Smoking among these children is alarmingly widespread. Many endure long working hours without meal breaks, highlighting the urgent need for immediate intervention and comprehensive programs to help these children and their families break free from the cycle of poverty and deprivation.
