This study explores the demographics, motivations, and challenges faced by female ride-hailing drivers in Bacoor City, Cavite, through a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. The ride-hailing industry has experienced significant growth worldwide, including in the Philippines, where platforms like Grab and Uber are widely used. Despite the expansion, the industry remains male-dominated, with limited participation from women drivers. This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing female participation in ride-hailing, their experiences, and the unique challenges they encounter.
Data were collected from a sample of 226 female ride-hailing drivers through structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative analysis revealed key demographic characteristics, including age, education, and marital status, and provided insights into the work patterns and financial contributions of these women. Findings indicate that the primary motivations for joining the ride-hailing industry are financial independence, flexible working hours, and the opportunity to support their families.
However, the study also identified significant challenges that female drivers face. Safety concerns are paramount, with many women expressing fears about working late hours and encountering unsafe situations. Additionally, balancing work with household responsibilities poses a substantial challenge, often leading to high levels of stress and burnout. Discrimination and harassment from passengers and fellow drivers further complicate their professional experiences.
The qualitative data from interviews provided a deeper understanding of these challenges and highlighted the personal stories and resilience of female drivers. The thematic analysis revealed recurring themes of safety, work-life balance, and discrimination, offering detailed insights into the lived experiences of these women.
The study underscores the need for targeted interventions by ride-hailing companies and policymakers to address safety concerns, provide support for work-life balance, and combat discrimination. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive safety measures, offering flexible scheduling options, and creating regulations that encourage female participation in the industry.
