Abstract: One of the defining characteristics of the fourth industrial revolution has been the rise of the digital platform economy. Improvements in access to the internet, as well as increase in the availability of smartphones, has led to the growth of digital platforms in Bangladesh. Ride-sharing applications and food deliveries have become common in urban areas, especially in Dhaka. Nationally, Bangladesh has become the second largest source of online labour in the world. Thus, there are immense opportunities for exploring the scope generating employment among the large number of youth in Bangladesh through the digital platform economy.
