ARAn article published by Perfil reports on the economic hardship faced by food delivery couriers in Argentina, citing a study by the Fundación Encuentro. According to the report, a courier would need to complete 453 deliveries in March 2026 at an average payment of $3,165 per delivery to meet the basic needs of a household of four, equivalent to the Canasta Básica Total. The study highlights that this number has remained relatively stable since the indicator was introduced, indicating persistent challenges for low-income workers. The report breaks down the number of deliveries required for various expenses, including rent, utilities, child care, fuel, and minimum wage. It also notes that while delivery apps have increased in usage, this does not necessarily translate into improved purchasing power for couriers.
