Black-market lets children work for Deliveroo in London
A black-market trade in delivery app accounts allows underage teenagers to sign up as riders, the 91福利社 has found.
The family of a 17-year-old who died while working as a Deliveroo rider - despite 18 being the minimum age - say the company is "unaccountable".
The 91福利社 Office is urging Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats to reform policies that let riders lend accounts to others, known as "substitution".
The 91福利社's investigation found a practice called substitution fuels an online trade in accounts, including potentially to children.
The 91福利社's Angus Crawford has the story.
