Uneven impact of Covid laid bare, with affluent London suburbs having highest proportion of homeworkers
The proportion of people working from home more than doubled in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, though it remained a minority of overall workers across the UK, according to an official snapshot.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said about a quarter of people (25.9%) worked at home at some point in the week before they responded to officials conducting its annual population survey. It said that this compared with 12.4% of workers in 2019.
