Two third of all persons in paid work practise tasks which are feasible for teleworking. They either ? spend more than 6 hours per week doing some kind of office work or ? spend more than 6 hours doing work that could be done at a desk (paperwork, writing, reading, working with pictures, using the telephone) or ? spend more than 6 hours doing work on a computer-controlled machine. Accordingly, telework is “technically” feasible in two out of three cases. This holds true under the assumption that the tasks which lend themselves to teleworking can be collapsed on (at least) one working day and – as a consequence – at least one full working day is spent teleworking from home. Note that teleworkability does not positively correlate with the actual number of teleworkers: While teleworkability is high in Italy, the spread of telework is not.
