Remote working: exploring regional variation and socio-economic inequalities

该项目建立在监督员和威尔士政府之间的既定关系之上。琼斯目前正在就COVID 19的社会经济影响提供建议，Felstead已经向Senedd提供了远程工作的证据，并与远程工作政策团队保持定期联系。研究的重点和目标是通过这些活动制定的，并解决了知识差距，这将直接告知工作组国家远程工作战略和承诺，即30%的劳动力将长期远程工作。该提案建立在COVID 19期间国际社会对在家工作日益增长的兴趣的基础上，COVID 19记录了其规模，性质和后果。最初的证据侧重于估计在家工作的能力，而随后的分析则考虑了员工在家工作的经历和对未来的偏好。本项目将通过跟踪最新信息来探索工作地点如何变化，从而为文献做出贡献。它将侧重于不同地区和社会经济特征的差异，包括父母、非正式护理人员和残疾人之间的差异，他们可能会不成比例地受益。在此过程中，它将为关于改变工作地点以减少劳动力市场不平等的潜力的辩论提供信息。

The project builds on established relationships between the supervisors and the Welsh Government (WG). Jones is currently providing advice on the socio-economic impact of COVID19 and, Felstead has given evidence on remote working to the Senedd and is in regular contact with the remote working policy team. The focus and aims of the research have been developed through these activities and address knowledge gaps that will directly inform the WG national remote working strategy and commitment that 30% of the workforce will work remotely long-term. The proposal builds on growing international interest in homeworking during COVID19 which documented its scale, nature and consequences. The initial evidence focused on estimating ability to work from home, whilst subsequent analysis considered employees experience of homeworking and preferences for the future. This project will contribute to the literature by tracking up-to-date information to explore how the location of work is changing. It will focus on differences across areas and socio-economic characteristics, including among parents, informal carers and disabled people who may be expected to benefit disproportionately. In doing so, it will inform debates about the potential for changes in the location of work to reduce labour market inequality
