Ловушка гибкой занятости: как нестандартный график работы влияет на баланс между работой и жизнью фрилансеров
Мониторинг общественного мнения: Экономические и социальные перемены. 2019. № 3. С. 86-102.
The study problematizes the role of flexible working hours in the life of self-employed professionals (freelancers). High levels of autonomy to manage time not only bring benefits but may also lead to self-exploitation. The study is based on the data of the online survey “Freelancer Census” (2019) and the RLMS-HSE (2017). The authors argue that compared to the national average freelancers have to work in non-standard working hours (working night, weekend, and holiday) when other workers take a rest. Regression analysis shows that non-standard working hours may lead to poor work-life balance in the life of freelancers. The most vulnerable groups are women, individuals who have spouses (partners) and freelancers having minor children.

However, market ties between freelancers and their clients are not established as arm's-length but largely as embedded ties. Social capital of freelancers becomes an effective instrument for fi nding the clients, raising ...

Work schedule structures individual life and matches biological and social rhythms in various ways. Given the widespread prevalence of nonstandard work schedules (such as working evenings, nights and weekends) in the context of the '24 / 7 economy', the need for research into how these schedules affect worker well-being, including the issues of work-life balance, has never ...

Развитие информационно-коммуникационных технологий (особенно Интернета) способствовало широкому распространению разнообразных форм «электронной» самозанятости, основанных на принципе удаленной работы. При этом с точки зрения трудовой автономии они варьируются от действительно свободного профессионального труда «электронных фрилансеров» до зависимого положения операторов «виртуальных центров обработки вызовов», подобно наемному персоналу испытывающих ее дефицит к тому же при отсутствии социальных гарантий.
