Abstract This literature review studies the challenges, experiences and endowment of women street vendors in the informal economy beyond different global settings. Through a standardized review of scholarly literature, this paper blends current knowledge on women street vendors, acutely analyzes methodological techniques, identifies systems and differences, and offers guidance for future research. The review affirms that women street vendors encounter considerable socioeconomic vulnerableness, function within intricate and often adverse regulatory settings, and employ different cooperative and personal tactics to navigate threats. Their experiences are moulded by intersecting elements including geography, policy frameworks, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds. In spite of important research in Asian and African contexts, substantial gaps continue in Latin American perspectives, digital revolution impacts, longitudinal studies, and climate susceptibility. The review closes by proposing definite research instructions to discourse these gaps and brief more conducive policies and interferences to endorse women street vendors universally.
