Sub-sample of the Survey on Smart Working within Research Institutions During the Covid-19 Emergency: A Gender Perspective

The survey intends to provide a first analysis of the workloads, the time dedicated to professional tasks and family workloads, and the ways to deal with SW during the pandemic emergency. It aims to investigate ways of reconciling work-life in a gender dimension to highlight if and how the SW activity has influenced the domestic and family dynamics between women and men during the emergency period. For this reason, the analysis focuses on 1) the division of the workload of domestic and family care tasks; 2) the management of free time after completing the professional activities; 3) the evaluation of the SW activities (positive and negative aspects, technological difficulties, the perception of the quality of work and the factors that could be improved); and4) the evaluation of the SW experience also in relation to the Covid-19 emergency
