Very interesting, however, while I normally have great respect for Statistics Canada; the statement that telework has not grown in the summary and news release took me by surprise. The numbers have not leveled off: First of all the main report says the number of teleworkers "appears" to have leveled off. But appears somehow becomes a definitive has stalled in Stats Cans summary of the report. Thisconclusionseems to fly in the face of previous Stats Can studies, as well as other major telework studies and reports worldwide about the growth of telework. Based on the frequent surveys and studies that come across my desk every day, I see telework steady growth in most developed countries. Inconsistent methodology can lead to suspect results: I worked with Stats Can (as a committee member) on some of its earlier telework studies, but stopped doing so when I realized it had no future plans to study telework as a stand alone, but rather to study it in a piecemeal fashion, as an add-on to other studies. This lack of focus, combined with inconsistent methodology from survey to survey led to mixed results. By its own admission (check the footnotes to the current study) Stats Can says that it is impossible to be precise on telework trends over the years. First of all their information comes from parts of various surveys over the years, each with different questions, reference positions, survey designs, time frames etc. Furthermore, the definition of telework was not always the samein each study (some included self-employed work-at-homers such as farmers). As well, some key sectors of the Canadian workforce (e.g., public sector workers)were not always included. Compare apples with apples: The last major Stats Can study on telework was in 2000. That study concluded that there were 1.4 million teleworkers, but this included all teleworkers including self-employed work at homers including farmers. However, the study did not present the total Canadian picture since it excluded certain key parts of the workforce such as public sector administrative staff. Since the Canadian Telework Associations focus is on paid or employed teleworkers, we asked Statistics Canada to prepare a summary report of the findings. It agreed to do so and determined that there were 900,000 were employed teleworkers. The current report appears to count 1.4 million employee teleworkers. Comparing apples to apples, the growth rate is from 900,000 in the year 2000 to 1.4 million in the year 2007 not a stall, but a growth. Its time for Stats Can to conduct a serious, stand-alone study of telework: If Canada wants to have its own clear comprehensive picture of telework numbers and growth, Stats Can should do like many other countries that recognize the importance of telework: it needs to study telework on a dedicated and stand-alone basis. Until this is done, telework impacts and stats will be piecemeal and incomplete. By way of background,here is the information weve obtained directly from Statistics Canada past studies (some of it obtained through our internal contacts within the organization). These numbers show that telework is growing. 2005 survey (released in June 2007). The General Social Survey found 1.4 million teleworkers in Canada in 2005. Again, this may not have included public sector workers. Far from being a levelling off, this was an apparent growth of 500,000 teleworkers since the year 2000. 1999 / 2000 survey (released in 2000/2001) - Findings released as part of the Workplace and Employee Survey indicate the telework continues to grow. The survey counted just over 900,000 teleworkers, but was based on 1999 data, but did not include public sector workers. 1997 survey (released in 1999): The Workplace and Employee Survey indicated a growth of 40% to 1,000,000 teleworkers. But this included all teleworkers including self employed work at homers. 1991 survey (based on 1991 data)- Survey of Work Arrangements indicated 600,000 teleworkers in Canada.
