Definitions: The ability of a community to develop processes and structures

that meet the needs of current members and future generations.

1) Benefits: adjusting to family members’ routines, gaining more control over

life, bypassing workplace discrimination, enhancing local social connections,
building shared resources

2) Risks: challenges with building occupational identity (i.e. architect, financial

services), social isolation

3) Builds social capital and engagement if the home-based work is visible (not
atomized or hidden) in the community
