HILDA finds working from home boosts women’s job satisfaction more than men’s, and that has a downside

Summary

This article from  The Conversation makes these points about the recent HILDA survey on working from home:

• The proportion of Australians working “most hours” from home jumped from 6% before the pandemic to 24% in 2021.
• Women with children were generally positive about working from home.
• Women still do more home and care work than men.
• If men spend more time in the workplace, they are more likely to be promoted and get extra responsibilities.
