Whilst the previous page showed that 37 per cent of males and 23 per cent of females reported teleworking, it can be seen in the table to the right, that almost two-thirds of those that telework are male and just over one-third are female. However, of those that do not telework, the genders are almost equally split (49 per cent male and 51 per cent female).
It can also be seen on the table at right that those that telework are more likely to have children than those who do not report teleworking. The Sensis® Consumer Report found that some 52 per cent of those that telework have children, as opposed to only 37 per cent of those that do not telework.
