Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic changed the experience of work forever. Specifically, the proportion of workers in Western countries that now spend some of their time working from home has increased beyond expectations. This chapter explores the impact on workers of this rapid move to home working specifically in terms of well-being, the experience of technology and working hours. The survey and interview data used within this chapter are from an ESRC=funded project looking at home-based working during the pandemic. The chapter examines the impact of home-based working on women and what the future of home-based and hybrid work may look like.
