Abstract

The contribution focuses on telework, arguing that its spread is likely to exacerbate the already existing inequalities in the labour market. After outlining the reasons for the so-called teleworkability divide, the Author shows that thecleavage between those who can and those who cannot work remotely is not neutral, but rather a factor that accelerates and sharpen disparities among groups of workers, favouring onlysome of them. Attention will also be paid to the issue of discrimination in teleworking access policies and that of its so-called segregating effect. Finally, some possibleremedies to the detrimental consequences of the teleworkability divide are proposed.
