Abstract

Abstract: In this paper we propose a comparable measure of approximate teleworkers in Latin American countries using official labor surveys. To do this, we start from a review of the context and concept of teleworking that allows a better understanding of the matter. Then, we study the literature and propose a standard methodology, understanding teleworkers as homeworkers with occupations supported by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Finally, we apply our methodological proposal in Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina, finding that the conditions imposed by the pandemic seem to have increased levels of effective use of telework. However, the use of telework has not been "massive", even in the face of the severity of the pandemic. We close the paper by exploring the characteristics of the approximate teleworkers, obtaining that they tend to be more female, have university education, and work in small firms; they also are slightly older than other workers.

远程办公:拉丁美洲官方劳工调查的测量方法
摘要:本文采用官方劳动力调查的方法对拉丁美洲国家的远程工作者进行了比较。为了做到这一点,我们从回顾远程工作的背景和概念开始,以便更好地理解这个问题。然后,我们研究了文献并提出了一种标准方法,将远程工作者理解为由信息通信技术(ICT)支持的职业的家庭工作者。最后,我们在哥伦比亚、巴西和阿根廷应用了我们的方法建议,发现疫情造成的条件似乎提高了远程工作的有效利用水平。然而,即使面对疫情的严重程度,远程办公的使用也并非"大规模"。本文最后探讨了近似远程工作者的特征,发现他们往往是女性,受过大学教育,在小公司工作;他们的年龄也比其他员工略大。
