    YOUNG GENERATION & STREET HAWKING. The conversation of street hawking throughout the African Continent has increased as poverty prevails. Traditionally hawking was used as a small source of income for households in the developing world. As the unemployment rates continued to rise, many parents and their children began using hawking as a main source of income. In many West African countries hawking is deemed illegal, yet for many it continues to be the only source of income. The young man depicted, explained hawking for him wasn't his family's main source of income, but contributed greatly. It was more of, "something his parents had him do to help out", he explained, and didn't "feel'', forced upon him by anyone. While there is a grave difference between a village hawker and city hawker, the debate over what constitutes child labor and exploitation continues, I continue to be perplexed by both Western definitions and African definitions of "the street hawker."
