Working from home involuntarily

Question

I have a student looking for data on the number of people who are being forced by their employers to work from home. The Survey of Workplace Arrangements 1995 had a question regarding this, but unfortunately, it has been discontinued. Does anyone know of another survey or source that would provide this information? I've done a cursory check of the LFS and WES and neither appears to cover the reasons people work from home.

Answer

General Social Survey of Canada, 1998 - Cycle 12: Time use main file - variable F32 (main reason do some of work at home) has a response that it "is a condition of the job".
