Study exploring the social, economic and legal context and trends of telework and the right to disconnect, in the context of digitalisation and the future of work, during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic : executive summary

This study was initiated as one of the follow-up actions to the European Parliament resolution of 21 January 2021, which called upon the Commission to propose a Directive establishing standards and conditions regarding the right to disconnect, and a legislative framework providing minimum requirements for telework. To this end, the study aims to provide evidence and analysis to support the Commission in its reflections on the appropriate response to the resolution of the European Parliament.
