| Abstract: | According to many commentators and employers, the 1990s is being seen as the decade of flexibility in employment. One type of atypical work being promoted as a desirable possibility for expansion is homeworking. Work involving information technology is considered particularly suitable: computer terminals may be installed in individuals' homes, with modems and other equipment enabling workers and firms to keep in touch with each other. For the purposes of this study, homeworkers were defined as follows: An individual who is employed to carry out work in his or her own home on a regular and on-going basis, for a firm, agent or contractor, and is paid a wage. |
