The pandemic, as a sort of global trial, has proved that home-working can and does work — and uses less energy“Crises usually accelerate real trends in society and technology, they don’t create or refute them,” chess champion Garry Kasparov wrote on Twitter about the coronavirus pandemic.
Shocks overcome some of the political, social, economic and psychological inertia, the force of habit, that keeps social and economic systems hard to alter. Since late March, Britain’s government has encouraged employees to work from home whenever possible as part of the country’s efforts to control the transmission of coronavirus.
The proportion working mainly from home had risen to 5.1% in 2019, up from 4.9% in 2018, 4.6% in both 2017 and 2016, and 4.3% in 2015. Not all jobs can be done from home. Working from home is far more common in industries such as information and communication, science and technical advice, real estate, and the arts and entertainment.
But regions with the highest levels of working from home are also generally those with the highest labour productivity, highest incomes and fastest economic growth.
