新型冠状病毒疫情改变了有偿工作的场所。能够这样做的工人被要求远程工作。我们利用2020年10月从全国代表性的3，017名远程工作者样本中收集的调查数据，以及从231名远程工作者中收集的定性调查数据，研究了从疫情之前到疫情期间工作时间的变化。结果表明，妇女在工作时间的变化（要么大幅减少或大幅增加），而不是稳定的风险更大。性别也与年龄、种族/民族、先前的远程工作经验和社会经济地位交叉，以形成小时的变化。三明治一代的妇女和男子以及有学龄前儿童的妇女（而不是男子）最有可能报告工作时间减少，而家中有较大儿童或照顾成人（但不是两者）的妇女最有可能增加工作时间。黑人妇女和从事远程工作的妇女更有可能经历工作时间的大幅增加，尽管西班牙裔妇女和黑人男子最有可能报告工作时间有所减少。性别也与社会经济地位交叉，没有大学学位的妇女更有可能减少工作时间，而拥有高等学位的妇女和妇女管理人员报告工作时间大幅增加。定性数据进一步阐明了为什么在COVID-19期间，远程工作人员的工作时间会发生变化或保持稳定。
The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed where paid work is done. Workers able to do so have been required to work remotely. We draw on survey data collected in October 2020 from a nationally representative sample of 3,017 remote workers, as well as qualitative survey data collected from 231 remote workers, to examine perceived changes in work hours from before to during the pandemic. Results indicate women are at greater risk of change (either a major decrease or a major increase)-rather than stability-in work hours. Gender also intersects with caregiving, race/ethnicity, prior remote work experiences, and socioeconomic status to shape changes in hours. Women and men in the sandwich generation, as well as women (but not men) with pre-school children, are the most likely to report a decrease in work hours, whereas women with older children at home or caring for adults (but not both) are the most likely to have an increase in hours. Remote working Black women and women moving into remote work are more likely to experience a major increase in hours worked, even as Hispanic women and Black men are the most likely to report somewhat of a reduction in work hours. Gender also intersects with SES, such that women without a college degree are more likely to have a decrease in work hours, while women with an advanced degree and women managers report a considerable increase in work hours. Qualitative data further illuminate why work hours change or remain stable for remote workers during COVID-19.
