Approximately a quarter of a million people joined the teleworking workforce last year, an increase of 19 per cent, according to an IES analysis.
The results of the Spring 1999 Labour Force Survey found that approximately 1.2 million people in the UK work from home for at least one day per week in their main job, using a computer and a telephone link to their employer or clients.
Just one year later and this figure has risen to 1.5 million, representing 5.5 per cent of the British workforce.
According to the survey by the Government's Office of National Statistics, seven out of 10 teleworkers are men, despite the fact that men make up little over half of the workforce as a whole.
Most teleworkers are in senior jobs: 28 per cent are managers, 22 per cent are professionals and 18 per cent are in associate professional or technical occupations.
