Abstract
This thesis focuses on the night market vending and unlicensed roving vending business in Nanjing, China in order to examine the vendors’ and local government’s coping strategies in the night market evolution and development process. Based on observation, interview and survey methods, this thesis analyzes the situation faced by the informal vendors and the government policies towards the informal vending business on the streets in Nanjing. This research tries to examine the relationship between hukou policy and internal migration in China and the meaning of informal vending markets both in vendors’ life and in government management process. The findings suggest that hukou policy is no longer a strict policy to control the internal migration in China and informal street vending business should not be considered as a temporary job opportunity in Nanjing any more.
