Airtime Hawking and Mobile Telephony

        abstract = {Women are considered vital and indispensable to the economic growth and sustainable
development of any nation, but their subordinate position in the workplace in Africa is a concern.
This study investigates the motivations behind airtime hawking by Nigerian women who operate
at the bottom end of their country?s mobile telephony business and are confined to the informal
segment of the industry. A total of 625 respondents attended to questionnaire items about the
factors that predisposed them to sell airtime on the streets. Results show they hawked to avoid
being disturbed by the local revenue collectors and for quick and steady patronage, albeit small
profits. The least contributory is that airtime hawking does not require a selling technique. These
indicators are useful for industry captains, policymakers, and multilateral organisations interested
in improving the conditions of women and their absorption into the mainstream economy.},
