With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, large portions of the world's workforce shifted to homeworking, joining hundreds of millions of other workers who had already been working from home for decades. Though working from home has long been an important feature of the world of work, the institutions that govern the labour market are rarely designed with the home as a workplace in mind. The sudden rise in homeworking brings renewed urgency to the need to appreciate the implications of home work for both workers and employers. This report seeks to improve understanding of home work and to advance guidance on policies that can pave the way to decent work for homeworkers both old and new.
