Abstract
I have expected that telework contributes to the re-vitalization of regional economy and the resolution of depopulation problem in the countryside. But, my expectation seems not yet realized satisfactorily. IT venture companies and SOHO gather in the Tokyo and the metropolitan districts, because information service demand is abundant in those areas. The purpose of this paper is to reexamine these situations and confirm my expectation. I think the re-vitalization of regional economy is possible by telework and 'chisan chisho' of jobs. By telework, we can get information service jobs from distant cities. Chisan chisho of jobs means that jobs are to be carried out by local companies and not to be taken away by outsiders. By chisan chisho, local SOHO can get jobs and continue their business. I also discuss the problems of these two ways.
