Abstract This issue of the ILO's Conditions of Work Digest, composed of 3 main parts, presents an extensive overview on telework. An introduction examines the extent of telework, the reasons for its introduction and its implications for workers, employers and communities. It introduces occupational, geographical and sectoral distribution of telework and provides information on legal status of teleworkers, their working conditions, and the potential of telework to assist the disabled and other special categories of workers. This part also reports on the positions of workers' and employers' organisations regarding telework. A second part contains 57 case descriptions of telework practice, including initiatives of public authorities and enterprise experiences. An annotated bibliography with over 150 entries shows how the debate on telework has developed in the past 10 years.
