In this episode, we delve into the transformative economic impacts of the pandemic-driven rise in working from home (WFH). Discover how WFH has boosted productivity by increasing labour supply through reduced commuting time and enhanced flexibility—benefiting diverse groups such as women and individuals with disabilities. Learn about the positive ripple effects on capital, including the repurposing of office spaces and reduced reliance on transportation infrastructure. While micro-level productivity results may vary, the macro-level benefits are clear: greater labour market inclusion and decreased pollution. We also explore the emerging positive feedback loop, where the growth of WFH is driving technological innovation to support and expand remote work possibilities. Tune in to understand the profound ways WFH is reshaping the workforce, the economy, and the future of work.
