ISLAMABAD — In a landmark move for the digital economy, the Senate of Pakistan has unanimously passed the Gig Workers Rights Bill 2026. This legislation officially recognizes freelancers and platform-based workers as part of the formal labor force. The bill ensures mandatory health insurance, simplified tax filing, and a dedicated dispute resolution center for digital professionals. This is expected to significantly boost the confidence of international clients and local freelancers on platforms like Upwork and Fiverr.
