Working from home, an alternative for the rural areas

Author(s):

Abstract: 

Teleworking constitutes a radical new way in order to introduce new
productive factors in the local area. Meaning that, the transit from a
productive scheme based on concentration and investment factors for
heavy infrastructure —the industrial model— to a different model that
implies the concentration of the productive factor as the capacity to
compilate knowledge and communication and information tools, means
an enormous potential to decentralize economy. The possibilities for the
rural world are clear: there is no need for infrastructure multimillionaire
investments, there is no need for concentrating millions of persons in
a concrete place for doing a concrete activity. At the present time the
investment required is about culture and knowledge for the TIC use,
oriented to promote economic activities. That is the objective for the last
socioproductive scheme, if the rural World is not going to be excluded
again.
