In recent years, the progress of Internet technology and the transformation and upgrading of mass consumption have spawned a large number of emerging occupations with diverse forms and fine division of labor. These emerging occupations have been officially incorporated into China’s occupational map since they were announced to the public by the National Bureau of Statistics in 2019. As a typical representative of these new occupations, take-away riders have played an important role in promoting the employment of migrant workers and college students, improving the employment quality of the poor and meeting the living needs of the people. However, the flexible employment and management methods of take-away riders have also brought new problems to the protection of workers’ rights and interests and the construction of social protection system.
Come and learn about this survey report on the professional group of takeaway riders with Xiaobian today ~!
The data used in this report mainly comes from the national questionnaire survey of take-away riders’ professional groups (hereinafter referred to as the "questionnaire survey"), which was jointly organized and implemented by the research group and the Institute of Sociology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The survey targets are people aged 18-45 who are engaged in take-away riders’ occupation from 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) in China. The survey time is October 2020, and the questionnaire was distributed through Tencent’s questionnaire platform. After data cleaning, a total of 6,190 valid samples were obtained. In addition, the government questionnaire data is used as a supplement to help understand the employment status of emerging professional groups and the relevant management and service measures for this group.

According to the survey data, 90.8% of the samples are men and 9.2% are women. Agricultural registered permanent residence accounted for 68.9% and non-agricultural registered permanent residence accounted for 29.1%. As can be seen from Figure 1, in terms of the education level of the professional group of take-away riders, 47.1% are high school, technical secondary school or vocational high school, 24.0% are junior high school, 5.0% are primary school or below, 16.8% are junior college, and 7.1% are undergraduate or above. It can be seen that the education level of the professional groups of take-away riders in China is generally low, which also reflects that the professional threshold of take-away riders is low and there is no high skill.
