Abstract

This article discusses what we know about the impact of working from home (WFH) on gender inequalities in the labour market and unpaid care work. While the literature provides evidence that remote work can promote women’s labour force participation and re¬duce wage inequalities, the impact on gender gaps in care work remains largely unclear. A major limitation is that findings from periods before the big shift to remote work induced by COVID-19 cannot easily be applied to “new” WFH arrangements today.
