According to LinkedIn's chief economist, "demand for remote work continues to outstrip supply heading into 2024." Only 10% of job postings in December 2023 were for remote positions, despite such listings receiving nearly half of all applications—46%—indicating a significant interest that far exceeds availability.
Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows a decline in remote working opportunities. For instance, only 21.6% of women worked remotely in 2023, down from 31.3% in 2022, with men's remote work falling from 29.6% to 17.7%.
The findings from the World Economic Forum highlight that women benefit disproportionately from remote work arrangements, given that flexible work helps them manage personal responsibilities, which has implications for workplace equality and advancement.
