"The study finds that among working people, more time at home means more births, with lifetime fertility increasing by 0.32 children per woman when both partners work from home."
"In the United States, the increase in lifetime fertility rises to 0.45 children per woman when both partners work from home at least one day per week."
"The average number of children per woman is 2.26 when neither partner works from home, increasing to 2.58 when both partners do."
"The research identifies three mechanisms explaining the link between working from home and higher fertility, including easier childcare management."
A study across 38 countries shows that working from home increases lifetime fertility. Couples where both partners work from home have an estimated increase of 0.32 children per woman, rising to 0.45 in the U.S. The average number of children per woman increases from 2.26 to 2.58 when both partners work from home. The research suggests that working from home facilitates childcare and influences family planning, leading to higher fertility rates among working couples.
