Freelancing is a form of work in which one is not committed to a particular employer long-term and is considered self-employed. In the digital age, online-based freelancing has become a popular career choice. These freelancers are primarily associated with IT-related work outsourced by online platforms. Bangladesh has considerable potential to create employment for its large young population through online freelancing. The country ranked 8th in the 2019 Global Gig-Economy Index, published by Payoneer, for freelancing. But women are severely underrepresented in the freelancing sector of the country.
