Bangladesh 2nd source of Freelancing

Bangladesh is the second most favourite country in supplying online labourers.

This is revealed in a study of the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), a multidisciplinary research and teaching department of the University of Oxford.

The result of the study, published in the Oxford Internet Institute web site, put India ahead of Bangladesh and the United States on the third position.

India as the largest overall supplier of online labourers shares 24.0 per cent of the total global online workers followed by Bangladesh with 16.0 per cent and the United States with 12.0 per cent.
Apart from the US, countries like Pakistan, the Philippines, the United Kin
gdom, Canada, Germany, Russia, Italy and Spain are lagging behind Bangladesh.

"The Internet has created a global market for digitally delivered freelance work, which is currently growing rapidly... the top occupational category in the United States is writing and translation, while in the Indian subcontinent it is software development and technology.

The map is based on near-real time data from four of the largest platforms connecting buyers and sellers of online freelance work," the article added.
