CJ Logistics 'Couple Delivery Workers' Account for 13.6%
[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] CJ Logistics announced on the 19th that, in celebration of 'Couple's Day' on the 21st, an analysis of the delivery patterns of its courier drivers revealed that 13.6% of the total, or 2,450 individuals (1,225 couples), are married courier drivers.
According to CJ Logistics, out of approximately 18,000 courier drivers, 3,498 are family-based couriers, accounting for about 20% of the total. Among them, couples make up about 70%, showing a 6 percentage point increase compared to 1,155 couples last year. Other family relationships include siblings with 426 individuals (12.2%), parent-child relationships with 367 individuals (10.5%), and other relatives totaling 255 individuals (7.3%).
The working formats were also diverse. 'Accompanied delivery,' where family members deliver in the same area, accounted for 2,042 individuals (58.4%), while 'individual delivery,' where each is responsible for different areas, accounted for 1,369 individuals (39.1%). Other formats, such as 'collection-only' roles involving sales management and securing shipment volumes from clients, accounted for 87 individuals (2.5%).
CJ Logistics attributes the increase in family-based courier drivers to stability. As delivery items have become smaller and the introduction of automation equipment and applications has accelerated, work efficiency and income have increased, thereby expanding economic stability, the company explained.
