Could working from home help reverse declining birth rates?
Couples who work from home at least one day a week are having more children and planning larger families, according to a comprehensive new study spanning almost 40 countries. The research, co-authored by King's College London academic Dr. Cevat Giray Aksoy, reveals a strong link between remote work and birth rates, with researchers estimating lifetime fertility increases by an average of 0.32 children per woman when both partners work remotely for at least a day per week compared to the case where neither does.
