Home as workplace

Författare

  • K. V. Gough

Summary, in English

The use of the home as a workplace has persisted throughout the world, challenging established notions of economic progress and resulting in home-based work being seen as an integral and lasting part of the capitalist organisation of production. Many different types of work are conducted in the home, including production, retail, and service activities. Home-based workers are a heterogeneous group covering high- and low-wage earners and both women and men, though there is a predominance of the former. Working from the home can involve the need to negotiate social and spatial relations in the home and raises questions about work-life balance.
