Ethical Issues

The decoupling of work and local area, and a loss of boundaries between professional and personal life and family, raise new questions, including the vulnerability of workers cope with stress at work when the pressure of the employer or the system increases, as well as the notion of accident.
Telework can also be seen as ideal for young mothers wishing to reconcile family life and professional duties. The problem with this solution remains the challenge of separating work and family life by a dedicated place and time, which is not always obvious. And if they gain flexibility, accountability, and reduced travel time, they may nevertheless still be considered at-home mothers.
