- 44 age groups. Illiteracy rates were 59.20%, 61.70%, 55.30%, 75%, and 56%
in municipalities I, II, III, IV, and VI, respectively. The study identified
two categories of sellers: 48.3% in type 1 and 51.7% in type 2. The first
category comprised 154 sellers, and the second 165 sellers. The survey found
that 66.00%, 56.00%, 48.90%, 44.90%, 38.30%, and 34.40% of municipal V, VI,
III, I, II, and IV sales sites were open-air. In municipality I, 63.30% of the
sites were under hangars, while in municipalities II and IV, the corresponding
percentages were 51.10% and 59.40%, respectively. Moreover, 46.00%, 31.90%,
31.30%, 30.60%, and 27.70% of the sites in municipalities VI, II, IV, I, and
