WHY OVERREGULATING THE GIG ECONOMY WILL DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD

In a country struggling to create formal employment, gig platforms provide an essential source of income. While everyone hopes for better wages, imposing regulations like minimum wage could make it unviable for platforms to hire workers or scale. This, in turn, would limit opportunities for people like Sajid.

The priority should be creating opportunities for people to earn a living, rather than introducing regulations that might ultimately reduce both job availability and platform sustainability.
