A total of 93,100 people teleworked from their homes in the Canary Islands, at least occasionally, at the end of 2021, a figure that has barely decreased compared to 2020 (100 people less), the year in which the outbreak of coronavirus forced the extension of "the office at home."
According to the employment situation monitor published by the company Adecco, the archipelago occupies an average position in Spain in terms of the percentage of employees who telework, with 11.1%, in a relationship led by the Community of Madrid and Catalonia, with remote work rates of 24.3% and 17%, respectively.
If the figures are compared with those of the year prior to the pandemic, the results are significantly better, since in 2019 the telework rate was around 6.2%, practically half that of last year.
Likewise, the Adecco report also positions the Canary Islands on the path of growth in relation to part-time work commitments, with 23.2% more year-on-year (the second highest in Spain with 23,700 part-time jobs in 2021), well above full-time contracts, which only increased by 12% (86,900 full-time in 2021).
