No Inclusion Without Work. A Study on Andahuaylas Street Vendors with Disabilities in historic Downtown Lima

By , on September 30, 2024

This document presents the findings of a study conducted with 152 street vendors with disabilities and in vulnerable situations in Lima's Historic Center, Peru. The research highlights how labor precariousness intersects with a lack of support and family caregiving burdens, particularly affecting women. It recognizes both people with disabilities working in informal trade and caregivers, often mothers or relatives responsible for people with severe disabilities. The study also outlines proposals such as the Alameda de la Inclusión and the Inclusive Market, aiming to improve livelihoods and facilitate the labor integration of this group in secure, fixed spaces.
