Abstract

In this short article we summarise some key findings from our ongoing analysis of homeworking opportunities. We focus on the extent to which the shift to homeworking seen during the Covid pandemic looks set to remain a feature of the UK labour market. This matters because the extent to which the shift persists will have implications for a range of economic and social issues including productivity, wellbeing, a range of inequalities, housing needs, the future of cities and town centres, and demand for public transport.
