Abstract
The paper offers a glimpse of the driver side of the ride-sharing model in Egypt, provided through the eyes of the driver-partners themselves. Based on a field survey of a sample of Uber driver-partners in Cairo, I study this new form of work against the backdrop of expanding unemployment of the youth and the educated, and continuing employment in the informal sector. I emphasize the relevance of context, particularly the demographic, urban and economic challenges facing Egypt after the uprising of 2011.
