Women prefer working remotely – even if it means turning down a dream job

A recent survey reinforces the idea that women are more committed to remote working than their male colleagues. In fact, only 59% of them would accept a full-time, in-person job, compared to 66% of the men surveyed.

Would you accept a job that involved going into the office five days a week, without any option of working from home? Just a few years ago, it's a question that likely wouldn't have even been asked, but which has become a genuine issue since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. But feelings about remote work vary significantly according to several criteria and factors associated with each worker. One key factor appears to be gender, recent survey conducted by Censuswide for UK office rental agency Space32 suggests.
