Young people working as market traders
‘A man working in the market told me - "I have the desire to work in the construction sector but my problem would be how to feed myself if I am going through an learning (training) period with out any pay or support". This is the problem for many young people. Often in a family you are supported to complete senior high school only then your parents focus their attention on your younger siblings and you need to look for work straight away to start earning money and contribute.’
