New Work - New Problems? Gender Perspectives on the Transformation of Work: Introduction to the Special Issue
Year: 2025
Type: editorial
Abstract: “New Work” practices, accelerated through the COVID-19 pandemic, offering opportunities for gender equity through flexible work arrangements, while posing risks, especially for those with caregiving duties. This Special Issue features nine contributions from the 2023 conference “New Work - New Problems?” The articles examine remote work through a gender lens, explore evolving gender norms within organizations, and assess whether new work forms lead to dependencies and precarity globally. Collectively, they advocate for rethinking “work” to achieve a more equitable, just, and sustainable future.
