Freelancing has been a trending career path for years, but 2020 proved that the freelance lifestyle and all that comes with it — flexibility, working with people anywhere in the world, and doing meaningful work — is here to stay.

What steps need to be taken to ensure the freelance economy is inclusive? And how can those who want to hire freelancers take the right steps to do so?
