“…Later, working at home was linked with the savings of gasoline [16]. In this vein, Zhang et al (2020) [17] affirm telework as the traffic demand management policies to mitigate congestion during rush hours and decrease work-related trips. Recent paper work discusses the potential advantages and disadvantages of eworking [18].…”

The PISA tests are considered as a quality measurement for education. If it is so, then their high results might influence the proportion between blue and white collars. As the intellectually demanding functions can be more easily executed over the internet, in a long term, this fact should be reflected in a growing proportion of e-working. To study this assumption, we examine adopting e-working within selected thirty-five countries. Research questions were formed as follows: Is there a demonstrable influence of favorable PISA results on the overall rates of e-working in certain states? Is it possible to sustain different components with e-working? Can appropriate e-working legislation contribute to the overall rates of e-working at a state’s level? Our study adopted Spearman’s Rho correlation using 4 numerical variables to measure the strength of association between pairs of variables – the proportion of e-working and four country’s PISA averages in Mathematics, Science, Reading and Financial Literacy. Its results indicate a positive correlation: the probability of e-working increases with the PISA results growth. Further, Qualitative Content Analysis was used. Based on our data e-working will not go away and it is time to update law on e-working. Governments should formalize rights and duties. Face-to-display work is likely to be an unstoppable evolution at workplace. These components affected higher e-workability. These results draw attention to how e-working is becoming major element in common life with some challenges and difficulties and that we need to study these two influencer factors in order to optimize its arrangements.

“…Several studies have suggested that the COVID-19 pandemic would cause great damages to China’s macro economy and sectoral output in the short run. While the shutdown of economic activities would significantly cut down the enterprises’ production, strict distancing would cause consumers to spend less ( Duan et al, 2020 ; Guan et al, 2020 ; Guerrieri et al, 2020 ; McKibbin and Fernando, 2020 ; Zhang et al, 2020 ). McKibbin and Fernando (2020) employed a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model and found that China’s GDP in 2020 would decline by 0.4–6.2% depending on the population mortality and duration of the pandemic.…”

“…China (2020) , the total passenger volume of railway, road, waterway, and aviation transportations dropped by 50.9% in January and February of 2020, while the total freight volume fell by 19.7%. An increasing number of studies evaluated the relationship between the pandemic and transport sector, and regarded it as the major transmission route of infectious diseases ( Regondi et al, 2013 ; Cai et al, 2019 ; Gaskin et al, 2020 ; Jiao et al, 2020 ; Lau et al, 2020 ; Zhang et al, 2020 ; Przemysław et al, 2020 ). Zhang et al (2020) found that frequencies of flights and high-speed train services out of Wuhan had been significantly associated with the number of COVID-19 cases in the destination cities.…”

The impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on China’s transport sectors based on the CGE model coupled with a decomposition analysis approach

As one of the most vulnerable sectors exposed to the COVID-19 pandemic, transport sectors have been severely affected. However, the shocks and impact mechanisms of infectious diseases on transport sectors are not fully understood. This paper employs a multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium model of China, CHINAGEM, with highly disaggregated transport sectors to examine the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on China’s transport sectors and reveal the impact mechanisms of the pandemic shocks with the decomposition analysis approach. This study suggests that, first, multiple shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic to transport sectors are specified, including the supply-side shocks that raised the protective cost and reduced the production efficiency of transport sectors, and the demand-side shocks that reduced the demand of households and production sectors for transportation. Second, the outputs of all transport sectors in China have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and passenger transport sectors have larger output decreases than freight transport sectors. While the outputs of freight transport sectors are expected to decline by 1.03–2.85%, the outputs of passenger transport sectors would decline by 3.08–11.44%. Third, with the decomposition analysis, the impacts of various exogenous shocks are quite different, while the changes in the output of different transport sectors are dominated by different exogenous shocks. Lastly, while the supply-side shocks of the pandemic would drive output decline in railway, waterway, and aviation transport sectors, the demand-side shocks would drive so in the road, pipeline, and other transport sectors. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has negative impacts on the output of most non-transport sectors and the macro-economy in China. Three policy implications are recommended to mitigate the damages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to the transport sectors.

“…Initially, teleworking contributed not only to people’s safety, but also to a drastic decrease in environmental pressure by reducing mobility [ 21 ]. However, the possible benefit on the family nucleus and the perception of the balance between home care and work activity was not so clear [ 22 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and the precautionary measures applied globally (lockdowns and curfews) have impacted homes, including work. Working from home (WFH) has emerged as a growing trend in the post-pandemic era. The research question was: Are our homes ready for teleworking? To respond, a national prospective mixed approach was launched for Spanish households during the spring 2020 lockdown, using two online questionnaires, one quantitative and the other qualitative. Through a survey, photographs, and narratives, the study evaluates the perceived adequacy of telework spaces and their specific characteristics, the availability of digital resources and the internet. A total of 1800 surveys and over 200 images and texts related to telework environments were obtained. The results suggest that the adequacy of these spaces was insufficient for more than a quarter of the homes. Also, strong relations between the perceived workspace adequacy and a social status or stability of homes were shown and validated, despite other sociodemographic features, the home composition or habitat were not related. Some other variables statistically significant were occupation regime, type and surface of dwellings; their indoor environmental quality; the availability of exclusive spaces for teleworking; quality of digital resources; and the specific space features. The analysis was completed with qualitative insights through photos and texts. Telework, lived in this context as an experiment, needs this reflection from an environmental, resource-availability, and ergonomic point of view.
