The future of remote work
Opportunities and policy options for Trentino
Public policy can play an important role in steering the large-scale diffusion of
teleworking. Various communities around the world are experimenting with innovative
solutions. In Italy, the Autonomous Province of Trento has plans to design a comprehensive
plan for teleworking as a way to foster local economic and social development. Opportunities
and challenges for a smooth transition to an ever more hybrid work environment are
explored in view of a number of societal objectives, including an improvement in living
standards, territorial cohesion and competitiveness. The paper identifies six policy
areas for recommendations, reflecting the conditions needed to achieve these objectives.
