The freelance economy in Pakistan is experiencing significant growth, driven by digitization and a burgeoning pool of skilled professionals. Various forums have empowered Pakistanis to offer services globally, ranging from graphic designing and software development to creative writing and digital marketing. The growing trend has created new opportunities for economic participation especially with respect to young people and women.
However, it has also created certain challenges including freelancer's inconsistent income and lack of social security which demands the government’s support in the form of policies that ensure freelancer's remuneration, training and financial services personalized for freelancers.
