Abstract

Purpose

The authors analyzed the evolution of working from home (WFH) within industries in 12 European countries in the period 2008–2017 and studied its relationship with information and communication technologies (ICT).

Design/methodology/approach

The authors used data from the European Union Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) to document the trends and levels of WFH within industries in 12 European countries. The authors further used the EU-KLEMS database and a difference-in-difference approach to study whether the fall in prices of ICT is associated with a higher share of employees who work from home in industries that depend more on ICT relative to industries that depend less.

Findings

The authors show that WFH has increased almost everywhere and that there is significant heterogeneity across industries. The authors provide evidence that the fall in prices of ICT is associated with a higher share of employees who work from home in industries that depend more on ICT relative to industries that depend less. This result also holds within age, gender and occupation groups. While the authors find no significant differences among gender and occupation groups, the positive association between the fall in ICT prices and WFH increases with age.

Originality/value

This paper has two main contributions: First, it reports that WFH has increased in European countries in the period 2008–2017. Second, it provides new explorations about the relationship between ICT and WFH by using the price variation of ICT.

关于在欧洲国家在家工作
目的分析2008-2017年12个欧洲国家的行业内在家工作(WFH)的演变,并研究其与信息通信技术(ICT)的关系。设计/方法/方法作者使用来自欧盟劳动力调查(EU-LFS)的数据来记录12个欧洲国家各行业的工作岗位的趋势和水平。作者进一步使用EU-KLEMS数据库和差异中的差异方法来研究信息通信技术价格的下降是否与依赖信息通信技术的行业中在家工作的员工比例较高有关。研究结果表明,WFH几乎在所有地方都有所增加,而且各行业之间存在显著的异质性。作者提供的证据表明,与依赖信息通信技术较少的行业相比,依赖信息通信技术的行业中在家办公的员工比例更高,这与信息通信技术价格的下降有关。这一结果也适用于年龄、性别和职业群体。虽然作者发现性别和职业群体之间没有显著差异,但ICT价格下降与WFH之间的正相关关系随着年龄的增长而增加。本文有两个主要贡献:首先,它报告了2008-2017年期间欧洲国家的WFH有所增加。其次,利用信息通信技术的价格变化,对信息通信技术与WFH的关系进行了新的探索。
