Claudia Senik et al., « Teleworking and Life Satisfaction in Germany during COVID-19: The Importance of Family Structure », HAL-SHS : économie et finance, ID : 10.1007/s00148-024-00979-z
We carry out a difference-in-differences analysis of a representative real-time survey conducted as part of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study and show that teleworking had a negative average effect on life satisfaction over the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. This average effect hides considerable heterogeneity reflecting genderrole asymmetry: lower life satisfaction is only found for unmarried men and women with school-age children. The negative effect for women with school-age children disappears in 2021, suggesting adaptation to new constraints and/or the adoption of coping strategies.
