How do cloud workers manage their work-life-balance? Cloud working may lead to a blurring of lines between work and private life, and also with regard to family life, it has special features relating to productivity. The new work movement, which postulates that capitalist wage work is outdated and that work must be transformed to become free and self-determined for employees, forms the basis for the considerations discussed in this talk. 

Language: German 

The lecture is part of the RMU online talk series "Familie im Fokus – Vereinbarkeit in der Forschung“, in which the reconcilability of family life, studies and work is addressed from a scientific perspective. Over the course of the semester, researchers from the Rhine-Main Universities present their research results on various aspects of reconcilability.
