But it should be noted that not everything is an advantage in teleworking, since it seems that during the confinement, people who telework have been able to add almost two more hours of work to their day, for reasons such as the fear of losing their job, the desire to demonstrate dedication, the lack of knowledge of the digital world, and also the difficulty of reconciling with children at home, who are also doing what is called “home shcooling” or school at home.
Since this modality was not implemented in our society, people who telework often do not know how to separate personal and work spaces, and this causes them to mix and there is no differentiation between personal and work life; people also start working earlier but finish later, according to data from Surfshark it seems that there are peaks of work activity between 0:00 and 3:00 in the morning.
In this whole situation, and according to data from a Funcas study, it seems that women spend more time taking care of the home and children, specifically 4.3 hours a day, which they have to combine with teleworking hours, and this makes work-life balance difficult, while men spend 3.1 hours a day on housework and children.
