Summary

Flexible work arrangements, including schedule control and remote work, have the potential to help parents better coordinate their work and family responsibilities. However, it is unclear how flexible work arrangements impact gender inequality. Sociologists Laura Adler and Emma Zang will investigate the extent to which flexible work arrangements affect gender inequality at home and at work. They will conduct a series of surveys with working parents with children under the age of 18 for their study.
