Out of Sight, Out of Security? Telework, Job Insecurity, and Employability for Aging Workers

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly transformed the organization of work in Europe, making telework a widespread and persistent reality. However, the implications of telework on job insecurity - in its quantitative and qualitative dimensions - remain insufficiently understood, particularly for older workers who are often more vulnerable to labor market risks. Relying on data from the 2021 European Working Conditions Survey, this study investigates the impact of telework and its intensity on perceived job insecurity among senior workers, comparing them to younger cohorts.
