A recent study from the University of Toronto reveals that remote work significantly reduces gender discrimination for women. Among over 1,000 surveyed women, 31% reported experiencing discrimination in in-person work settings, while only 17% did so while working remotely. This research is part of a broader analysis highlighting the advantages of remote work for women, including flexibility and participation in the labor market. Nonetheless, the authors caution that although remote work diminishes these instances, it is not a comprehensive solution to workplace discrimination, and men still gain more from in-office work environments.
According to recent research from the University of Toronto, 31% of women experienced gender discrimination in physical workplaces compared to 17% working remotely.
The findings indicate that remote work is not a complete solution to workplace discrimination, but it significantly decreases the instances of such behavior.
The larger body of studies demonstrates several benefits for women in remote work, including increased labor market participation and flexibility in managing childcare.
While remote work has its advantages for women, the disparity shows that men are disproportionately benefitting from in-person work experiences.
