Although the actual proportion of the UK workforce which currently makes use of smarter working practices is not clear, ‘home workers’ – defined by as ‘people who work mainly in their own home, or in different places using home as a base’, is known to be 3.1 million out of 28.76 million, or 11 per cent of the total workforce (source: National Statistics, Labour Market Trends Oct 2005). Work Wise UK believes that this can be extended to 50 per cent of the workforce within five years.
