“New Work” practices, accelerated through the Covid-19 pandemic, offer opportunities for gender equity through flexible work arrangements, while they pose risks, especially for those
with caregiving duties. This Special Issue features nine contributions from the 2023 conference “New Work – New Problems? Gender Perspectives on the Transformation of Work”. The articles examine remote work through a gender lens, explore evolving gender norms within organizations, and assess whether new work forms lead to dependencies and precarity globally. Collectively, they advocate for rethinking “work” to achieve a more equitable, just, and sustainable future.
