Remote working: exploring regional variation and socio-economic inequalities

该项目建立在监事和威尔士政府（WG）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，费尔斯特德已向Senedd提供了远程工作的证据，并与远程工作政策小组定期联系。研究的重点和目标是通过这些活动发展起来的，并解决了知识差距，这将直接为WG国家远程工作战略提供信息，并承诺30%的劳动力将长期远程工作。该提案基于2019冠状病毒病期间国际社会对家庭作业日益增长的兴趣，并记录了其规模、性质和后果。最初的证据集中在评估在家工作的能力，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。这个项目将通过跟踪最新的信息来探索工作地点是如何变化的，从而为文献做出贡献。它将侧重于不同地区之间的差异和社会经济特征，包括父母、非正式照顾者和残疾人之间的差异，他们可能会获得不成比例的好处。在此过程中，它将为有关改变工作地点以减少劳动力市场不平等的可能性的辩论提供信息

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
