work, family and identity lord, phil the covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the existing transition to remote work and, more broadly, flexible forms of work. much energy and attention have been dedicated to analysing this transition, and how governments and other actors can best respond to it. this chapter takes a step back and analyses the potential impacts of the transition to remote work on our individual and collective identities. recognising that work is an important part of who we are, and has historically been a microcosm and a catalyst of broader social change, this chapter analyses how remote work challenges gender roles, contemporary family structures, and our conceptualisation of the relationship between work and other commitments. the chapter admittedly offers more questions than it does answers. it complexifies our understanding of remote work, and seeks to spark future discussions as to its consequences.

covid-19 and the future of work lord, phil this article draws upon law and behavioral economics to analyze the transition to remote work brought about by the covid-19 pandemic. while widely celebrated, this transition, which indeed has many promising aspects, is far more complex than public discourse would suggest. this article is articulated around two overarching, structural issues which both arise from and are exemplified by the increasing adoption of remote work policies. its first section depicts the move to remote work as an example and catalyst of the more broadly increasing precarity of work. it proposes solutions which could alleviate this increasing precarity. its second section focusses on the intrinsically heterogeneous impact of the covid-19 pandemic and these remote work policies and proposes solutions which could alleviate the disproportionate impact of these policies on certain groups.
