Integrating work and home in the COVID-19 times
(In)balance in life, work, school & home – European discussion and comparisons
Welcome and Short introductions
Work-home integration in pandemic times
Miet Timmers, Lecturer at University College Odisee and Researcher at Centre for Family Studies, Flanders, Belgium, presents the results of Covid-19 study done by her and her colleagues.
The global Covid19 pandemic has dramatically changed the face of work. As teleworking became much more accessible to a large group of people, a lot of family issues became an urgent focus of attention. How do people deal with the boundaries between the work domain and the family domain? What is the impact of gender on the division of tasks? How do small entrepreneurs and the self-employed cope with this situation? How do informal carers and people from the sandwich generation deal with this crisis? And above all: are the changes in the organization of work and family sustainable and permanent or will we go back to square one in a few months?
The Finnish, Polish and Spanish Time4Help partners describe the situation in Finland, Poland and Spain. The audience can ask questions and join the discussion.
