Investigation into Teleworking and its Relationships with Gender, Mobility, and Paid-Work-Life Balance

This paper addresses gender differences in dealing with teleworking and their effects on everyday mobility by means of a cross-sectional survey. The results show gender-based differences in dealing with teleworking, attitudes to it and the use of time saved by not commuting. Frequent teleworking is associated with longer commuting times to main offices and accentuates gender differences. Research should address that teleworking is highly interwoven with the gendering of mobility and paid work-life balance.

Abstract

This paper addresses gender differences in dealing with teleworking and their effects on everyday mobility by means of a cross-sectional survey. The results show gender-based differences in dealing with teleworking, attitudes to it and the use of time saved by not commuting. Frequent teleworking is associated with longer commuting times to main offices and accentuates gender differences. Research should address that teleworking is highly interwoven with the gendering of mobility and paid work-life balance.
