摘要

从协调工作和家庭生活以及缩小劳动力市场上的性别差距的角度讨论了在家工作。然而，它对工资的影响仍然是争论的主题，一些研究人员认为，灵活性的耻辱对某些群体，尤其是母亲，造成了不成比例的不利影响。本文使用了英国家庭纵向研究“理解社会”的数据，调查在家工作是否会根据性别和父母身份对个人工资产生不同的影响。反向概率加权固定效应回归模型用于最多8552名员工的样本。研究结果表明，在家工作与母亲的高收入有关，这表明灵活工作安排的好处可能超过潜在的缺点。

Is Workplace Flexibility Penalised? The Gendered Consequences of Working from Home for the Wages of Parents and Childless Employees in the UK

Working from home has been discussed in terms of reconciling work and family life and reducing gender gaps in the labour market. However, its implications for wages remain the subject of debate, with some researchers arguing that flexibility stigma disproportionately disadvantages certain groups, particularly mothers. This article uses data from Understanding Society, the UK Household Longitudinal Study, to investigate whether working from home has different consequences for individual wages according to gender and parental status. Inverse probability weighted fixed-effects regression models are used with a sample of up to 8552 employees. The results suggest that working from home is associated with higher earnings for mothers, suggesting that the benefits of flexible working arrangements may outweigh potential disadvantages.

期刊介绍： Work, Employment and Society (WES) is a leading international peer reviewed journal of the British Sociological Association which publishes theoretically informed and original research on the sociology of work. Work, Employment and Society covers all aspects of work, employment and unemployment and their connections with wider social processes and social structures. The journal is sociologically orientated but welcomes contributions from other disciplines which addresses the issues in a way that informs less debated aspects of the journal"s remit, such as unpaid labour and the informal economy.
