Would you like to work 'near' home?

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Would you like to work 'near' home?

Work from home or in the office? We explore a third way, co-working spaces in the suburbs

Work from home or in the office? We explore a third way, co-working spaces in the suburbs.

Work from home, or go into the office? For many businesses and workers it's an ongoing conversation at the moment.

But could there be a third way - working 'near' home?

New co-working spaces are providing a place for people to do their job close to where they live, but not at home which can be unsuitable and isolating.

We also look at the WeWork model - the billion-dollar business filed for bankruptcy protection in the US last year - does that mean the concept isn't viable long term? 

Produced and presented by Dougal Shaw.
