In the digital age, ride-hailing motorbike services have become an indispensable part of the urban transportation system in Vietnam, attracting thousands of workers with their flexibility and income potential. However, occupation also poses numerous health and safety challenges. The job requires long working hours, exposure to harsh weather conditions, and highly competitive pressure, leading to physical and mental health issues such as muscle pain, fatigue, and stress. This research article employs a survey method to collect data from ride-hailing motorbike drivers to analyze the labor burdens they endure.
