PETALING JAYA: Lower entry barriers into the ehailing and p-hailing industries are making the gig economy a “career” of choice for many SPM leavers.
Malaysian eHailing Alliances chief activist Jose Rizal said the government’s proposal to lower the age limit for p-hailing riders from 21 to 18, as well as abolishing the Public Service Vehicle vocational driving licence exam, which was previously required for ehailing, would lower the entry barrier for SPM leavers.“It opens up opportunities for them to earn a living without having to complete their studies,” he said in an interview.
Universiti Malaya’s Education Faculty Assoc Prof Dr Zuwati Hasim said many SPM leavers opted to work and join the gig economy because they might find this lucrative and fulfilling. “ they may have fluctuating income, this can be a challenge for income stability, as again, this depends on demand, working hours and location,” explained Zuwati.
“Through this experience, they may gain maturity in deciding the areas of interest that are more practical for them to pursue,” she said. Technology, said Mak, was another driving force, adding that young people were also attracted to the fast money, flexibility and freedom offered by the gig economy.
