dc.description	This study examines economic survival strategies in Katutura, Windhoek, where an estimated 250–300 people migrate each month in search of employment and improved living conditions. As population growth continues to outpace economic expansion, formal unemployment has risen steadily since independence, pushing many residents into the informal or “shadow” economy. While informal activities in central Windhoek remain limited, Katutura hosts a large and complex informal sector that is difficult to document fully. Due to challenges in collecting reliable data on sensitive activities such as shebeens, the study focuses primarily on hawkers to provide a detailed understanding of their operations and the role they play in household survival.	en_US
