Working from home is linked to higher fertility, new study finds

Cikk tartalma röviden

A recent study indicates that working from home (WFH) is associated with higher fertility rates. In 38 countries, couples who both work from home at least one day a week have an estimated lifetime fertility increase of 0.32 children per woman, rising to 0.45 in the U.S. The research suggests that WFH makes it easier to balance childcare and employment, potentially leading to more children. The impact of WFH on fertility varies by country, with the U.S. seeing WFH account for about 8.1% of its fertility rates.
