With the onset of the pandemic, there were many divisions between those who worked remotely and those who never worked remotely. One distinguishing characteristic was the employee’s age, although this factor is associated with many other socioeconomic characteristics. From a broad under-40 and 40-plus perspective, employees further along and in more information-oriented professions had higher remote working rates, while younger adults starting their careers had lower rates.
Since 2021, the age gap between remote and non-remote employees has narrowed in most of the countries surveyed—the US, Germany, the UK, and Japan.
