Abstract
Teleworking was promoted as one of the measures to deal with the coronavirus crisis. In Japan, teleworking was originally introduced as measure for work-life balance. In this report, by examining the result of investigations performed by public institutions and private organizations under the coronavirus crisis, the contributions and the problems for the work-life balance of the teleworking were extracted. For teleworking contributes to work-life balance, four future issues were discussed, ① Right to choose time and place to work (activity-based working), ② Flextime management and the moving from the personnel management by time to by tasks, ③ Right to disconnect, ④ Adjustment of the relationships of the family when the person is working from home, and development of the support resources from outside the family.
