Abstract

From March to May 2020, remote work was suddenly and compulsorily practiced full time, becoming a permanent feature of companies. In April 2021, the easing of lockdown led to a gradual return to work in a hybrid mode. However, the conditions under which this occurred vary according to the place of residence and the social position of the household, as well as gender. Working from home has disrupted the organization of the family and contributed to an increased workload and stressful situations. Employees have been confronted with the need to organize family life and work tasks in the same space. This article examines the influence of remote work on the possible emergence of new gender inequalities through the evolution of working conditions at home and the shouldering of domestic tasks. The empirical component is based on an exploratory quantitative study of 192 respondents. After a brief history of the evolution of gender equality, the literature on inequalities in remote work situations is drawn upon. The results reveal an increase in workload, extended working hours, more frequent meetings, family-work interference, and increased female involvement in domestic tasks.
