Abstract

Resumen Este trabajo analiza los efectos del teletrabajo sobre el bienestar subjetivo, la depresión y el equilibrio vida trabajo de los empleados suecos en 2021. Con microdatos representativos del EWCTS y una muestra de 1281 individuos, se estiman modelos OLS, logit y logit ordenado que relacionan la intensidad del teletrabajo (ninguno, parcial, completo) con los tres resultados, controlando por características individuales, del hogar, del empleo y por la tele trabajabilidad del puesto. Los resultados muestran que el teletrabajo no altera de forma significativa el bienestar medio, pero el teletrabajo completo mejora claramente el equilibrio vida trabajo y, a la vez, los jóvenes teletrabajadores presentan mayor probabilidad de síntomas depresivos que sus homólogos presenciales. En un contexto sueco de teletrabajo híbrido ya normalizado, el impacto agregado sobre el bienestar es neutro, pero el diseño concreto del teletrabajo resulta clave para evitar nuevos focos de vulnerabilidad psicológica. Abstract This paper studies the effects of telework on subjective well being, depression and work–life balance among Swedish employees in 2021. Using representative EWCTS microdata and a sample of 1,281 individuals, we estimate weighted OLS, logit and ordered logit models linking telework intensity (none, partial, fulltime) to these three outcomes, controlling for individual, household and job characteristics and for job tele workability. Results show that telework does not significantly affect average well being, while full time telework clearly improves work–life balance and, at the same time, young teleworkers are more likely to report depressive symptoms than comparable non teleworkers. In Sweden’s already normalized hybrid telework regime, the aggregate impact on well being appears neutral, but the specific design and conditions of telework are crucial to prevent new pockets of psychological vulnerability.
