Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the way we work, especially in the domain of remote work (RW). It compelled employees and organizations to embrace RW arrangements, which were previously voluntary, part time, or occasional, as a means to curtail the spread of the virus and minimize business disruptions. RW has introduced a flexible arrangement and other benefits but has also brought forth numerous challenges and obstacles specifically faced by female employees. In this study, we collect important insights about recent research focusing on the impact of RW, particularly accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic, on gender equality and highlight the barriers and challenges women face due to it. By analyzing insights gleaned from recent literature, we propose strategies and discuss the potential artificial intelligence-based solutions to address and overcome them. Furthermore, we also outline potential avenues for future research.

远程工作与性别不平等：揭示挑战并寻求解决方案

COVID-19 大流行改变了我们的工作方式，尤其是在远程工作（RW）领域。它迫使员工和组织接受远程工作安排，将其作为遏制病毒传播和最大限度减少业务中断的一种手段。RW 带来了灵活的安排和其他好处，但也带来了许多挑战和障碍，尤其是女性员工所面临的挑战和障碍。在本研究中，我们将收集近期研究的重要见解，重点关注 RW 对性别平等的影响，尤其是 COVID-19 大流行对性别平等的影响，并强调女性因 RW 而面临的障碍和挑战。通过分析从近期文献中收集到的见解，我们提出了应对和克服这些问题的策略，并讨论了基于人工智能的潜在解决方案。此外，我们还概述了未来研究的潜在途径。

期刊介绍： This magazine provides a journal-quality evaluation and review of Internet-based computer applications and enabling technologies. It also provides a source of information as well as a forum for both users and developers. The focus of the magazine is on Internet services using WWW, agents, and similar technologies. This does not include traditional software concerns such as object-oriented or structured programming, or Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) or Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) standards. The magazine may, however, treat the intersection of these software technologies with the Web or agents. For instance, the linking of ORBs and Web servers or the conversion of KQML messages to object requests are relevant technologies for this magazine. An article strictly about CORBA would not be. This magazine is not focused on intelligent systems. Techniques for encoding knowledge or breakthroughs in neural net technologies are outside its scope, as would be an article on the efficacy of a particular expert system. Internet Computing focuses on technologies and applications that allow practitioners to leverage off services to be found on the Internet.
