Abstract: This article analyzes the behavior and characteristics of teleworking in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recovery phase in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, and Uruguay. Teleworking facilitated the continuity of certain economic activities and, therefore, the employment relationship. However, it did not occur with the same intensity for all groups of workers. Formal and higher-skilled salaried workers experienced more transitions from in-person to remote work. After reaching peak levels in 2020, teleworking continues to be more widely used than before the pandemic.
