Journal Article
Non-standard work in unconventional workspaces
2021
Overview
This article looks into the new production dynamics and workspaces related to urban change by examining a rising group of workers: self-employed women who have started their own businesses or freelance activities from home or coworking spaces. This empirical study applies an intersectional approach to examine the job satisfaction and work–life balance of home-based workers according to employment status, gender and generation by means of a mixed-method approach, combining the statistical analysis of a dataset of 43,850 workers from the European Working Conditions Survey with in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that work intensity, working time quality and prospects depend more on an individual being self-employed than on being home-based; however, earnings and time devoted to care work are strongly shaped by working from home. Moreover, the profiles of home-based self-employed workers were completely different by gender and age. Although millennials (i.e. those born between 1980 and 1995) differ significantly from previous generations, gender inequality also prevails among the young. Combining working at home with coworking could be a solution to offset the lack of interactions and social capital of home-based entrepreneurs and to increase their earnings.
本文研究一个不断增长的工人群体：在家里或共享工作空间自己创业或开展自由职业的自雇妇女，从而探讨与城市变化相关的新的生产动态和工作空间。本实证研究采用混合方法，将对欧洲工作条件调查 (European Working Conditions Survey) 中43,850名工人数据集的统计分析与深入访谈相结合，根据就业状况、性别和世代，采用交叉方法来研究在家工作的工人的工作满意度和工作-生活平衡。调查结果显示，工作强度、工作时间质量和前景更多取决于自雇人士个人，而不是在家工作这种模式；然而，在家工作极大地影响了收入和照料家人的时间。此外，在家工作的自雇人士的情况因性别和年龄而完全不同。虽然千禧一代（即1980年至1995年出生的人）与前几代人有很大不同，但性别不平等在年轻人中也很普遍。将在家工作和共享工作空间结合起来可能是一个好的解决方案，可以弥补在家创业的企业家缺乏互动和社会资本的问题，并增加他们的收入。
