Rural people see new opportunities in the urban areas in terms of employment, physical facilities and other opportunities; mostly because of not being able to generate decent living through incomes from agriculture or agricultural jobs. As a result, rural landless agricultural workers have little motivation to remain in agriculture. Instead, they choose to migrate to nearby towns or cities in search of more remunerative non- agricultural jobs. In the cities and towns that they migrate to, they end up in jobs that are more remunerative from their agricultural jobs but those that are at lowest spectrum of jobs in urban setting mostly in the informal sector. Street vending is a big part of the informal sector so much so that the term informal sector in Bogota was attributed exclusively to street vendors.
