Flexible working has become increasingly common during the COVID-19 pandemic, but does it really provide a better work-life balance? This book offers an original examination of flexible working, drawing on data from 30 European countries and studies in Australia, the US, and India. It reveals how flexible working can lead to exploitation, with different consequences for women and men. The book takes a critical stance, investigating the potential risks and benefits of flexible working and providing crucial policy recommendations for overcoming its negative consequences. By examining the impact of flexible working on individuals and society, this volume sheds new light on an issue that affects many workers today. Heejung Chung's analysis provides valuable insights into the complexities of flexible working, making it a useful resource for anyone interested in understanding the implications of this trend.
