Abstract
This project examines the “Impact of Street Hawking on the Academic Performance of The Girl Child In Jos North Local Government Area. Forced street hawking, particularly among children, constitutes a form of modern day slavery depriving them of their rights and impeding their future career aspirations. The general objective of this study is to examine the impact of street hawking on the academic performance of the Girl child. The theory use for this study is the Marxian theory. In relating the theory to street hawking, it should be observed that unequal allocation of resources and inequality encourage poverty among members of the society. High level of poverty influences parents to engage their children in street hawking which also is associated with some social and physical problems. The research used was the Survey design. 100 respondents were selected as the sample size used and questionnaire was the major source of data collection. Government should try as much as possible to alleviate unemployment and poverty which are the major factors that encourage street hawking.
