Three questions are added to the questionnaire for this quarter only as part of the CSO’s involvement in the EU STILE project which ‘aims to provide innovative methodologies and content for the statistical monitoring of the European labour market in the eEconomy’. The topic of these questions is E-working and the use of telecommunications technology to enable work from home.
In order to facilitate the placing of these questions on the questionnaire the HOMEWORK question, which is usually only asked of Wave 1 respondents, will be asked of all Waves in this quarter as a precursor to the E-work questions.
