Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of teleworking on subjective well-being, mental health, and work-life balance in Portugal. Using Linear Probability and Logit models, the research demonstrates that full-time teleworking significantly improves work-life reconciliation. However, the results reveal a gender gap: while the benefits are robust for men, they are statistically insignificant for women. Furthermore, the study identifies a correlation between depression among Portuguese workers and their total workload (number of hours worked). The study concludes that teleworking is not a neutral tool and requires specific policies and shared responsibility to ensure an equitable impact.
