| Abstract: |
Using the UK household longitudinal survey, we uncover a positive effect of
work from home on life satisfaction, which is driven by partnered people and
those without children at home. Concerning mental health, there is no average
effect of telework, except for those living in rural areas, but this hides a
dynamic evolution, as mental health initially deteriorates in the first months
of telework, but improves after a period of adaptation, especially the feeling
of being useful, of being a worthy person, and of being able to concentrate. |
