Encyclopedic overview
Percentage of workforce that was home-based in 2019 Most respondents to the same climate survey in 2021–2022 believe that most of us will be working from home in 20 years to help save the planet. The United States Marine Corps began allowing remote work in 2010. Remote work is the practice of working at or from one's home or another space rather than from an office or workplace.
The practice of working at home has been documented for centuries, but remote work for large employers began on a small scale in the 1970s, when technology was developed that could link satellite offices to downtown mainframes through dumb terminals using telephone lines as a network bridge. It became more common in the 1990s and 2000s, facilitated by internet technologies such as collaborative software on cloud computing and conference calling via videotelephony. In 2020, workplace hazard controls for COVID-19 catalyzed a rapid transition to remote work for white-collar workers around the world, which largely persisted even after restrictions were lifted.
