Sick of Working from Home?
利用2017年法国一项鼓励远程工作协议的法律,研究发现疫情后远程工作大幅增加,尤其在中层职业中,但导致员工(特别是男性)健康状况恶化。
Abstract We explore the consequences of the development of home working for wages, hours worked and employee health in the post-COVID era. We base our research strategy on a French law passed in 2017 to encourage telework agreements between employers and employees. In the months following the law, many establishments signed telework agreements, and we show that this subsequently led to a much greater development of home working in these establishments after the epidemic shock in 2020. This increase was particularly significant in mid-level occupations, and was followed by a deterioration in the health of the employees concerned, particularly men.
