Remote work, a (hampered) tool for a different culture of production
A study by Inapp highlights what is lacking to enhance how we use remote working
Some call it remote working others call it working from home. In any case, we are talking about a new way of working (especially for office jobs) that is completely different from the usual ones. Remote work already existed before Covid, exploding during the pandemic and, above all, continuing after the emergency. But today we are still trying to understand its effects through studies and surveys. In addition to a way of working, in fact, remote working entails a different culture of production that is becoming increasingly widespread and that must be well understood.
This is why we would benefit from reading ““Iper-luoghi e spazi di interazione: lo smart working nelle aree interne”, a recently published Inapp study by Filippo Tantillo and Rosita Zucaro.
The paper is presented as ‘the first organic outcome of a research activity aimed at measuring and analysing the significant synergies and impacts that remote work can have on territories in the process of abandonment and at high risk of depopulation, the so-called Inner Areas.’ This is an important point. Remote work, in fact, can be the key to open doors that have almost always been closed, especially those that connect disadvantaged areas with the rest of the economy.
To gain a better understanding of the situation, Inapp has therefore launched the study starting from the dizzying spread of remote work for emergency needs, with the aim of measuring the impact that these new working methods can determine in terms of the geography of the work in a territory burdened by an accentuated polarisation, between congested areas and those undergoing severe depopulation.
The study is divided into several phases. First of all, the links between remote working and inner areas were explored, then the indicators available were analysed to better understand the situation, and the experiences of three inner areas were studied in detail. The study concludes by indicating a series of national and regional measures that could promote the spread of this type of work.
Remote work, as conveyed by the researchers, is not only a concrete way of understanding the culture of production but also serves as a tool to curb the exodus of the population from areas where it is ‘complex’ to live. At the same time, however, the study highlights the ‘discrepancy between needs and demands (…) and the responses of the regulatory framework’.
