Abstract: This paper analyses the effects of teleworking on the well-being of the Polish population in 2021. The study does not focus only on well-being, but also attempts to estimate the effect on depression and work-life balance among the population under study. For this purpose, data from the European Working Conditions Surveys (EWCS) for 2021 were used, considering demographic variables in the regression models. The findings of this study show that teleworking had a negative effect on the general well-being of the population and significantly increased symptoms of depression. On the other hand, no statistical significance was found in the effects of teleworking on a good work-life balance, with the most relevant explanatory variables being the presence of children and the workload, measured in hours worked. However, it is important to note that the explanatory power of these models is limited, so the estimates made do not capture the most relevant explanatory factors. Once this clarification has been made, the results obtained in this study suggest that teleworking has had negative consequences on mental health in Poland in 2021, especially for women.
