Along with other inland transport workers, those working in the taxi industry face a range of problems. Although circumstances vary greatly from country to country – in terms of licensing arrangements, degree of regulation, type and size of vehicle and employment contracts – most drivers are low paid and work long and irregular hours. Formal employment contracts are rare, and many are paid on a commission basis. Job insecurity and the absence of social protection are common features.
