In the US, you've maybe gone from five to 30% of full paid days work from home. In Africa, it's maybe gone from more like, you know, two to 10%. So around the world, we see big jumps up. The reason that the levels are particularly high in America is the combination of a industrial structure.
In this episode, co-host Michael Chui talks with Nicholas Bloom. Bloom is the William Eberle Professor of Economics at Stanford University and a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. He covers topics including the following:
- The history of remote work
- How remote work can enhance productivity
- What practices make hybrid work most effective
- How the views of employers and employees compare on working remotely
