A recent study found that mothers who regularly work from home earn approximately 10% more than those who do not. This research by Johanna Pauliks analyzed data from 8,869 U.K. employees, focusing on the relationship between remote work and wages. It was found that mothers benefited the most from telecommuting, gaining between 9% and 12% more in earnings, as it allowed better work-life balance. The study indicated that remote work enhances productivity and facilitates career opportunities leading to higher earnings for mothers only.
Mothers are the ones who benefit the most from working from home in terms of their earnings, which points to the idea that mothers have the most to gain in terms of work-life reconciliation and therefore that the productivity advantages might be beneficial for them.
Working from home allows individuals to coordinate work and other life obligations more sustainably, enabling them to work more productively, which can then shape career and job opportunities, and could therefore be positively associated with earnings.
