With growing urbanisation, developing countries have seen a sharp rise in women's participation in the informal sector, which does not require high skilled, educated labour. Women engaged in the informal sector do so due to economic necessity and are, often, the sole earners in their families. This study focuses on the socio-economic conditions of women vendors in Moreh, a border town in Manipur along the Indo-Myanmar border, with a special emphasis on their livelihood, health and autonomy. A survey was conducted in 2015-16 among 336 women street vendors in various markets of Moreh, which has a large concentration of them. The study found that the socio-economic status of the women vendors was poor and that they were mostly middle-aged married women from the lowest social groups (ST, SC and OBC). Many of the vendors had minimal resources to run their business and were the sole income earners in their families. Several of them were found to have health problems (like rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, oral and skin diseases, etc.), associated with their working conditions and their unhealthy lifestyle. Though these women have autonomy in financial decisions, they do not have full autonomy in the other aspects of their family and social life.
