This participation underscores the platform’s impact in involving this vital segment of the population in economic activities.
Further emphasizing the youth’s technological adaptability, data reveals that almost 60% of the deals facilitated through inDrive.Freight have been executed by young drivers. This statistic highlights a generation that is not only ready but also capable of leveraging innovative solutions to build sustainable employment pathways.
