摘要

信息和通信技术的迅猛发展使工作模式发生了显著变化,远程工作成为一种重要的补充就业形式。2020 年爆发的 COVID-19 导致了广泛的社会隔离,加速了远程办公的采用。继 Dingel 和 Neiman(2020 年)之后,我们为超过 4539 名员工构建了远程工作能力指数,并分析了他们在中国工作状态的动态变化。我们的研究结果表明,与基本劳动力相比,商业和技术工人更倾向于远程工作。生活在中国东南部地区的高学历女性员工则显示出在家工作的优势。进一步的回归估计表明,在整个 2020 年,远程工作能力指数较高的工人能够更好地应对大流行病带来的不利冲击,重返工作岗位的比率更高,生产率也更高。相比之下,远程工作能力指数较低的工人在保住工作方面面临挑战,失业率较高,收入损失严重。此外,远程工作能力指数与心理健康状况呈正相关。这项研究强调了劳动力市场中最脆弱的群体,即那些远程工作能力较低的群体,应该成为社会保障体系的重点关注对象。

Teleworkability and its heterogeneity in labor market shock

The rapid development of information and communication technologies has brought about a marked change in work patterns, with teleworking emerging as a vital and complementary form of employment. The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 led to widespread social isolation, accelerating the adoption of teleworking. Following Dingel and Neiman (2020), we construct a teleworkability index for over 4539 employees and analyze the dynamic changes in their working status in China. Our findings suggest that business and technical workers are more likely to work remotely than essential labor workers. Highly educated female workers who live in the southeast of China show the advantage of working from home. Further regression estimation indicates that, throughout 2020, workers with a higher teleworkability index can better cope with adverse shocks from the pandemic with higher return-to-work rates and higher productivity. In contrast, those with a lower teleworkability index face challenges in job retention and suffer from higher unemployment rates and severe income losses. In addition, the teleworkability index is positively associated with mental health status. This study highlights the most vulnerable segment in the labor market, those with low teleworkability, should be well targeted by the social security system.
