Abstract: In this paper we assess the feasibility of remote work in Argentina, by combining data on occupation characteristics from O*NET with employment information from the EPH. Occupations less compatible with telework are characterized by a higher proportion of informal and self-employed workers, with lower levels of education, skills and wages. Using a simple income simulation, we estimate that the short-term negative effects of measures of mandatory isolation aregreater in the lower-income strata, which impliesa significant increase in poverty and income inequality.
