| Abstract: | Wage work done at home has existed alongside factory and office for more than a century, and although its full extent is unknown, it is widespread and possibly increasing. Performed mainly by women and the disabled, it can also be a concealed form of child labour. It is attractive to employers for its flexibility and workers for its income opportunities, but it is poorly paid, involves long hours, offers little or no social protection and can undermine the position of other workers. All main aspects of the subject are examined and increased legal protection is advocated. |
