According to the report 'Este futuro no applica' by Oxfam Mexico, here are 350,000 delivery workers in the country, earning an average of 2,085 pesos (112 dollars) per week.
If the only source of income for these workers came from this job, 55 percent of the people surveyed would not have the sufficient income to meet the basic needs of themselves and their families.
