“…Furthermore, it is possible that sustainable employment for employees with various disabilities, such as those associated with multiple sclerosis [95], could be facilitated by telework. The converse of this relationship is that caregivers of family members often maintain employment by engaging in flexible work arrangements [96] and generally value flexible work arrangements [64].…”

With increased participation in telework expected to continue, in the aftermath of COVID, it will be important to consider what long-term impact this practice could have on sustainability outcomes. This paper describes a scoping review and identifies connections between telework and sustainability outcomes from previous academic studies. These connections were categorised, and are discussed, based on their contributions to different United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Most research was found to focus on countries classified as having a very high human development index status. The SWOT matrix technique was used to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses identified in the existing literature, and the threats and opportunities for future work. This aims to ensure policy coherence so that strategies to promote one outcome, such as economic productivity improvements, do not undermine another, such as improved health. Practical implications and research opportunities were identified across a range of SDG impact areas, including good health and well-being, gender equality, reduced inequality, climate mitigation, sustainable cities, and resilient communities. Overall, our impression is that increased rates of telework present an important opportunity to improve sustainability outcomes. However, it will be important that integrated and holistic policy is developed that mitigates key risks.

“…Labour force participation could also be affected by not only the health of the individual concerned, but also by the health of individuals residing around the individual. Even the presence of a family member having a disabling cancer condition or musculoskeletal condition was found to increase female labour participation but male participation reduced for males residing with a mentally ill family member as found by Vecchio (2015). The study examined the effect of residing with an individual having a disabling condition on labour force participation.…”

This study examined the dynamic causal relationship between population health, carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and labour force participation. The study employed the block exogeneity wald test after estimating a panel VAR model using data for 24 sub-Saharan African countries from 1990 to 2018. The dynamic interactions among the variables and effect of shocks was also examined using the variance decomposition analysis and impulse response functions. For robustness, the estimation was done using both aggregate labour force participation and disaggregated labour force participation inorder to investigate the differentials by gender. The results showed evidence of a feedback effect between life expectancy and total labour force participation. This also holds for male labour force participation however, a unidirectional causality was found from female labour force participation to life expectancy. A one standard deviation shock in CO2 emission had a negative impact on life expectancy. Life expectancy also had the greatest contribution to variations in CO2 emission. Male labour force participation shocks had a consistently negative impact over the ten-year period, however, shocks from female labour force participation had the least impacts on CO2 emission. Environmental reforms encouraging less polluting energy and technology use is important for CO2 emission reduction, which further increases life expectancy and ultimately labour force participation rates.

“…Other researchers point out that the occurrence of an illness in the family (requiring long-term, regular care) may in certain cases increase women's participation in the labour market. It is connected with the greater possibilities of working part time or flexitime (Vecchio, 2015).…”

Health condition is an important area of social life. Employees in good health work more efficiently and effectively than sick ones. It is widely accepted that health is one of the elements of human capital and a factor in determining the situation of the individual in the labour market. The main objective of the research is to analyse the health status of household members in the context of their professional activity. The working hypothesis assumes that people suffering from health problems are rather economically inactive than unemployed. In the paper an attempt is made to identify factors (related to eg. health) which affect the probability of being economically inactive. To achieve the objective of the paper individual data of household members from the European Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU‑SILC) conducted by Central Statistical Office in Poland in 2013 was used. The results of the analysis indicate that in general, deterioration of health increases the risk of remaining economically inactive. In the analysis of the order of importance of factors affecting economic inactivity, the ones connected with health turned out to be of the greatest importance.
