This study focuses on one-worker and two-worker households and investigates how telecommuting affects household one-way commute distance and duration. The results show that telecommuting increases the commute distance and duration for both one
-worker households and two-worker households. It is also found that, in two-worker households, the telecommuting status of one worker does not increase the commute distance and duration of the other worker. These findings suggest that telecommuting (two
-worker) households tend to choose locations involving a longer total one-way commute than non-telecommuting households, and this difference is largely due to the longer commute of their telecommuting members.

From work to welfare : the response of the Peruvian state to the feminization of emergency work
Employment ; Employment policy ; Female work ; Peru ; Poverty ; State control ; Welfare state ; Woman
The paper explores the ways in which the convergence of economic crises and gendered processes of globalization have created a new role for states and new scenarios for women's paid work. It examines the feminization of state-backed employment
programmes in Peru. The relationship between feminization and the state is analyzed. The contradictory conceptualization of work embodied in state-backed initiatives is interrogated. Through empirical archive and interview based research it examines
the implications of the move from a rethoric of providing work for men to one that emphasized welfare aid for women.
This paper examines a struggle waged by production line workers at a formerly state-owned factory located in Peri Ha’Galil, Israel’s northern periphery. Intially an attempt to prevent the closure of the privatized factory, it soon became an all-out
struggle through which production line workers deployed their peripheral location and ethno-class identities to make claims for and enact their citizenship (at work). Under constant threats of downsizing, precariatized industrial workers in privatized
factories experience a restless citizenship, a ceaseless battle to secure their jobs through what might be called the work of citizenship.
