| Abstract: | This thesis seeks to explore bicycle taxi business to establish benefits and challenges accrued from the business by male youth aged 14 to 24 in Salima District, Malawi. The main objective of the study was to investigate the driving forces of male youth to venture into bicycle taxis and the challenges associated with the business. The following question were raised in order to meet the objectives of the study: Describe the relevant socio-economic and demographic characteristics of Bicycle Taxi Operators? What drives young people to venture into the bicycle taxi business in Salima? What are the social challenges associated with operating Taxis among youth aged 14-24 years? The method used included background literature review which provided a conceptual framework for the study and a descriptive design which includes surveys and fact-finding inquiries to stakeholders such as bicycle operators, youth leaders and government officials. The main findings and analysis of the study largely covered the following categories: Operators demographic characteristics, driving forces to start operating bicycle taxi and challenges faced by operators. Damp business in Salima is dominated by poor male youth aged between 17 and 24 years, who dropped out of school, most of them married at a tender age. They face numerous challenges in their operations including passengers refusing to pay, being underpaid, being robbed by violent passengers and some women suggesting to pay by sex. The study establishes that male youth are driven into the business by many social issues such as school dropout due to luck of school fees to continue with their education, lack of schooling and employable skills to secure descent jobs and unemployment. Their purposes are to achieve their dreams of being food secured, to raise funds in preparation for marriage and build a house for their family. The analysis is leading us to appreciate that Dampa business is a form of informal employment to many uneducated young people in the district. |
