Sydney Morning Herald: More people are wanting to work from home but their employers are reluctant to let them, fearing they will do less work.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the number of Australians working at home more than doubled between 2001 and 2008.

Almost 1 million people worked at home in 2001 but by 2008 that number had reached 2.4 million people - including those who spent time regularly checking emails.

The chief executive of the Australian Federation of Employers and Industries, Garry Brack, said most people wanting to work from home were women returning after maternity leave.
