Abstract :


Remote work is often promoted as a flexible, democratizing force in the labour market. Yet for highly skilled racialized women—particularly immigrant women—this shift has not dismantled entrenched structural barriers. Instead, it has frequently reproduced them in digital form. This paper critically examines how race and gender intersect to shape access to remote employment, advancement, and economic security, both globally and in the Canadian context. Drawing on an intersectional framework, labour market segmentation theory, and scholarship on algorithmic hiring bias, it interrogates whether remote work mitigates or reconfigures pre-existing inequalities. The analysis shows that racialized immigrant women remain disadvantaged in digital hiring systems, underrepresented in leadership roles, and disproportionately burdened with unpaid care work—constraints that the remote work model has failed to resolve. The paper argues that far from being a meritocratic leveller, remote work can entrench a digitally mediated extension of existing inequalities unless deliberate structural reforms are enacted.
