Most child street vendors in Irbid are school dropouts
A field study in Irbid revealed that 70% of street vendor children are school dropouts. Most of them work after school or during holidays to support their families, whose income varies between 200 and 400 dinars per month. Among them, 41% possess skills in buying and selling goods to earn small profits. However, they face challenging health and psychological conditions, and are exposed to risks such as bullying, smoking, and long working hours without sufficient nutrition. The study underscored the urgent need for interventions that include support for education and the economy to protect these children and foster their healthy development.
