Women roadside sellers in Madang

15 paged paper as part of the Pacific Economic Bulletin Volume 23 published in 2008. A survey of women roadside sellers in Madang Province of Papua New Guinea found that they earn a weighted average income of more than three times the national minimum wage. The relative economic success of these roadside vendors relies to a large extent on access to good-quality customary land and proximity to major roads.
