The number of under 25 year olds working as direct sellers has increased by 16% since 2013, according to figures released by the Direct Selling Association (DSA) of UK.
The report – which surveyed the DSA’s member companies – found that the age group now makes up 22% of the industry, equating to 88,000 of the 400,000 direct sellers in Britain.
It was also revealed that there has been a 30% increase in the proportion of individuals whose income is generated solely by direct selling, with 104,000 counting it as their only job.
With recent data from The Social Entrepreneurs Foundation claiming that 47% of young people would like to start their own business, the DSA’s figures are thought to reflect the growing popularity of entrepreneurship in an increasingly competitive jobs market.
