The pandemic, and the resulting lockdown restrictions, have driven a vast segment of the population, particularly in western markets, into remote working. Coupled with government intervention, such as the furlough scheme in the UK, there has been a substantial change in levels of employment over the course of the pandemic, as well as working hours.

  • How the future of work may look
