A new research survey is being conducted to study the growing food delivery industry and the working conditions of the food delivery drivers in Macao.



The Macao Observatory for Social Development of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ), together with the Macau Federal Trade Union and Associação Choi In Tong Sam, is conducting a survey for a research titled “Food in a Flash” to study the growing food delivery industry and the working conditions of its drivers in Macao.

About the Research:

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Macao government imposed a wide range of strict measures in the community to prevent the spread and contain the virus such as restriction on dining out, leading to a new food ordering culture. Businesses were also suffering financially and workers were getting pay cuts and/or loosing their jobs, therefore some people opt to follow the latest trend and became food delivery drivers the to earn a “quick buck”. However, as this industry keeps growing, more attention should be paid to the working conditions and protection of the workers.
