我们使用关于工作任务内容的工人级数据来衡量发展中国家的在家工作能力（WFH）。我们发现，发展中国家的WFH能力较低，并记录了职业之间和职业内部以及工人特征之间的显著异质性。我们的措施表明，受过教育的工人，工资雇员和妇女有较高的能力，WFH。使用来自巴西，哥斯达黎加和秘鲁的数据，我们表明，我们的措施是预测的实际WFH无论是在整体水平和变化与职业和个人特征，以及就业成果。因此，我们的措施可以用来预测WFH在发展中国家的结果。(C)2021爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
We use worker-level data on the task content of jobs to measure the ability to work-from-home (WFH) in developing countries. We show that the ability to WFH is low in developing countries and document significant heterogeneity across and within occupations, and across worker characteristics. Our measure suggests that educated workers, wage employees and women have a higher ability to WFH. Using data from Brazil, Costa Rica and Peru, we show that our measure is predictive of actual WFH both in terms of overall levels and variation with occupation and individual characteristics, as well as employment outcomes. Our measure can thus be used to predict WFH outcomes in developing countries. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
