As for the age bracket, the study found that 97.71% of p-hailing workers are aged 15 to 30 while the remaining 2.29% are senior citizens aged 60 and above. Besides that, DOSM revealed that 73.98% treated p-hailing as their main source of income, while 70.35% cent make it their main occupation.

However, only 22.05% contributed to the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF), though the statistic is much higher (72.25%) for those that contributed to the Social Security Organisation (Socso). Furthermore, 63.39% do not have any savings while the other 36.61% have their own savings or investments.

In terms of insurance policy, the study found that 45.07% have their own insurance policy while the rest did not. DOSM also noted that there was an increase in the income of p-hailing workers after participating in food and goods delivery. These include:

  • RM1,501 to RM2,499 – 26.78%
  • RM1,500 and below – 23.39 %
  • RM2,500 to RM3,170 – 11.67%

According to DOSM, the working hours of p-hailing workers in a week show that the 3 highest categories are those who work between 49 hours to 84 hours (30.79%), 30 hours to 48 hours (25.84%) and less than 30 hours (25.42%). Furthermore, the study found that the top 5 reasons why they become p-hailing workers include covering daily expenses, helping the family, having flexible working hours, saving and not being bound by rules or employment contracts.

DOSM conducted the study between 1 March to 31 December 2022 and involved 6,657 respondents. Through the study, DOSM proposed 5 strategic focuses covering 19 initiatives and 19 action plans. These include:

  • Ensuring that the welfare of p-hailing workers is protected under labour legislation or the equivalent
  • Providing appropriate complaint and communication channels to resolve disputes between service providers and workers
