Notes	ID: CORNFORD1997; This online academic working paper studies census returns on the distribution of non-manual homeworkers in the UK. It is likely to be of interest more to researchers (for whom it is an excellent introduction and source of social science research into teleworking) than practitioners and argues that the majority of teleworkers may be professionals displaced into self-employment by corporate downsizing. Without denying the significance of that group the study perhaps fails to appreciate the rise of live work preferences among other knowledge workers in more creative industries and the development of organisational promotion of new ways of working.$$ $$
