Generation Y employees may not have much time for IT usage policies, but many of them spend long periods outside of office hours doing work on their personal or home computers, according to a national study conducted by IT World Canada and Harris/Decima.
Out of more than 1,000 individuals between the ages of 18 and 29 who were surveyed, 23 per cent said they spend at least an hour a day in some work-related activity on a home computer, while 12 per cent said they spend two to five hours.

The numbers were revealed as part of Freedom to Compute: The Empowerment of Generation Y, which explores the generation gap around IT and includes comments from both the CIO and CEO communities.
