Kinshasa households spend a larger proportion of their income on food than rural households therefore Kinshasa population are more vulnerable to changes in prices, in climate, in production, in season, brief in any environmental, social and economic variability's. According to PNUD, 2009; the majority of households in Kinshasa live in precarious conditions, in an environment characterized by severe economic crisis. In Kinshasa households, women are the biggest contributors to income via their small informal activities, that pushes them to live-out their homes early in the morning, around 4:30 AM to 5:00 AM en till very late in the evening 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
