The widespread adoption of remote work has changed the nature of traditional employment and made it more flexible and efficient. However, Pakistan is lagging behind other countries in embracing the widespread trend of remote work practices. This study looks at aspects that contribute to Pakistan's slower integration of remote work than its global counterparts in order to identify the obstacles preventing its general acceptance. Important issues include inadequate infrastructure, opposition from organizations and cultures, and policy deficiencies in the government are shown by the study. Through a comparative analysis of these results with effective models from across the world, the study offers insights into possible approaches to overcome barriers to the adoption of remote work in Pakistan. Analysis is done on the effects of lagging behind in the adoption of remote work on economic growth, and suggestions are made for government policy makers, companies, and organizations to promote a healthier and more adaptable workforce in Pakistan by easing the shift to remote work. This study enhances knowledge of the particular difficulties Pakistan has had implementing remote work practices and offers feasible solutions to these difficulties, thus advancing the socioeconomic advancement of the nation.
