Teleworking affects more senior employees, those with university studies, women and residents of Montreal and Outaouais, indicates the most recent study from the Institut de la tourisme du Québec (ISQ).
And, on the other hand, those who are least likely to telework are those who earn less than $20 per hour, those who do not have a high school diploma and those who work in the regions of the Côte-Nord—Nord-du-Québec and Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
More precisely, in 2022, among those who earned a salary of at least $50 per hour, 21% worked exclusively from home, 43% worked in hybrid mode, while 36% worked face-to-face.
On the contrary, among those who earned less than $20 per hour, 90% worked face-to-face.
Women telework more than men. In 2022, 40% of workers reported teleworking, compared to 31% of workers, notes the ISQ.
In an interview on Tuesday, Luc Cloutier-Villeneuve, labor statistics analyst at the ISQ, explains that women more often hold jobs in public administrations, therefore jobs where teleworking is easily applicable, while men more often hold manual or production jobs.
