Abstract
Mohammad Tareq Hasan shares first-hand experiences of platform economy workers in Bangladesh. Dozens of in-depth interviews with ride-hailing and delivery drivers form the basis for his analysis of the shortcomings of the current work environment for gig-workers. After comparing Bangladesh's situation with the legal frameworks in four other South Asian countries, this study concludes with twelve policy recommendations for decision makers to achieve a more just environment for blue-collar workers in the future.
