Research on Social Integration of Urban Mobile Vendors from the perspective of Empowerment Theory
Mobile vendors are a vital part of the urban informal economy,yet they face significant challenges related to social integration,highlighting the need for thorough investigation.Current research mainly addresses macro-level factors such as social structure,legal policies,and urban governance,while often neglecting the spe-cific pathways for empowering these vendors.From the perspective of empowerment theory,it is essential to im-plement effective strategies to help mobile vendors integrate into urban life.Through unstructured interviews and field studies,we identified considerable obstacles in economic development,interpersonal relations,and adapta-tion to social environments.Social workers can enhance vendors'self-efficacy and business skills through targeted empowerment initiatives and advocate for policies that improve their social standing and legal rights,thereby fa-cilitating their better integration into society.
