E-commerce Delivery Workers Hit Hard by Internet Shutdown

Industry: Courier Service, E-Commerce

The recent internet outage has resulted in large income losses for thousands of delivery workers in Bangladesh. These workers lost their main source of income when e-commerce operations were suspended due to the protracted outage of web services. Many have been forced to undergo financial difficulty because their incomes are based on commission. Estimated losses in the billions have also been incurred by the e-commerce sector as a whole. Small businesses have been particularly badly impacted, especially those who use social media networks. To make up for these losses, the business is looking to the government for assistance.
