摘要：The engagement by households in the informal economy is not only a headache to local authorities in the developing countries but also heartache to the households themselves (comprising students, full-time street vendors, and formal private or public officials. This paper maps the diversity of ethical dilemmas which households and practitioners undergo. Doing something contrary to one’s belief and value systems 'pricks' conscience; they have but acted against their wish. From a spatial viewpoint, the whole urban Harare, is somewhat littered by a host of urban dwellers who are acting contrary to their life goals, at least in light of their career planning and personal aspirations. It is a sphere with destabilized personalities. One then wonders the kind of overall urban milieu that results from this development.
