Impact of Sit-At-Home Order On Traders
Abstract
Sit-at-home orders implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly impacted markets worldwide, including Ariaria market in Aba, Abia State, Nigeria. This study explores the effects of sit-at-home orders on Ariaria market traders, focusing on changes in sales volume, income levels, business viability, and socio-economic dynamics within the market community. A survey of 130 respondents was conducted to gather insights into the experiences and perceptions of traders during the period of economic disruption. The findings reveal substantial disruptions to business operations, with a significant proportion of traders reporting decreased sales volume, income levels, and viability of their businesses. Moreover, the study elucidates the socio-economic implications of sit-at-home orders, including worsening livelihood security and varying perceptions of social cohesion within the market community. Despite these challenges, the data also highlight the resilience and adaptability of some traders in navigating adversity and exploring opportunities for growth amidst economic disruptions. The study concludes with recommendations for government support, capacity building, market infrastructure improvements, community engagement, and continued research to enhance the resilience and sustainability of Ariaria market and its traders in the face of future disruption.
