Yes! You heard it right. Pakistan is declared the 4th fastest growing freelancing market in the world with 47% of growth in freelance earnings since the second quarter of 2018. Only three countries are above this list, and that are the USA, UK, and Brazil.

The Rise of Freelancing Industry

According to Forbes magazine, there are several reasons that people are loving the freelancing market more than the actual 9-5 jobs. These reasons vary from country to country.

The risk factor tops the reason for mature markets. Companies want to secure their reputation with only the best of recruitments. Many countries offer platforms for freelancing to support the industry of BPO services. Besides, freelancing brings a stress-free working environment to match the lifestyle of most youngsters as one can do their job as per their desired time. Thus, the gig-economy suits the demands of generation Z; they can earn as well as live their own life freely.

Is Freelancing a Source of Boosting Pakistan’s Economy?

Pakistan’s economy is struggling and requires strict measures to get up and compete with the international markets. There are not many job opportunities; so many people love to work for themselves.

It is an interesting fact that the majority of freelancers from Pakistan are under the age of 30. Because the local business market is not well-developed and doesn’t offer a platter of opportunities. Thus, they are in the freelancing industry to seek diverse career prospects and to say yes to the jobs that suit them the best.

Freelancing Leads towards Entrepreneurship
