Abstract

Introduction: Information and communication technologies are basic tools for teleworking and are associated with an increase in psychosocial risks. Based on this problem, the general objective is to analyse indicators on teleworking and psychosocial risks, highlighting gender differences and differences between European countries. Methodology: To do so, the analysis of quantitative secondary sources from Eurofound (European Foundation for the improvement of living and working conditions) reports is used. They are interpreted using the theoretical approaches of the capabilities approach and Sustainable Development Goal 8. Results: It is highlighted that psychosocial risks in teleworking limit freedoms and hinder Sustainable Development Goal 8 regarding the quality of employment. The most significant findings indicate that women are more disadvantaged, and that the differences between countries in psychosocial risks are not necessarily determined by the total number of teleworkers or the economic development of the country, but by how the country manages teleworking by making use of technologies that are less harmful to the worker. Discussion and Conclusions: Clear management criteria or regulatory instruments are therefore necessary to guarantee these freedoms in the field of teleworking
