Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
Why are there so many non-teleworkable occupations? Is teleworking only a matter of ICT usage
or does it also reflect the division of labour and the underlying hierarchical layers inside organizations?
What does it happen to those workers not able to telework in terms of socio-economic risks,
and how does the gender dimension interact with risk stratification? Hereby, we intend to shed light
on these questions using a detailed integrated dataset at individual and occupational level (Indagine
Campionaria delle Professioni, Indagine delle Forze di Lavoro and Inail archive) which provides
information on different nature of risks (income, employment and safety). Our results entail that, first,
class attributes strongly influence the chance of working from home, second, those individuals who are
not able to perform their work remotely are more exposed to transition to unemployment, to earn low
wages, and to safety and health risks, third, being woman and employed with a temporary contract
significantly amplify risk stratification.
