Overall, for the year 2019, saving money was picked as the major reason for working from home in both males and females. Meanwhile, males spent more hours of work at home per week than females.
The bar chart shows a significant 45% of males, the highest number among three reasons, attributed to saving money. In contrast, just 24% of male workers picked to work remotely for being more productive, six times higher than for childcare (4%). In terms of females, slightly a half of those surveyed worked at home because of saving money, higher than that of being more productive (11%) and childcare (26%) combined. Similarly, the gender disparity was present in all three given reasons, especially in childcare where females’ percentage is considerably higher than their counterpart.
Moreover, the studied tables depicted the hours of work per week in male workers were much higher than in females’ workers. Specifically, the number of female workers, accounting for 74% of females surveyed, worked under 10 hours, followed by 22% of females working around 10 to 30 hours. By contrast, just a mere 6% of females reported to work over 30 hours. When it came to males, just 3 % of men worked under 10 hours compared to an overwhelming 82% of men who worked at home over 30 hours a week. Additionally, men workers working 10 to 30 hours a week constituted 16%, still higher than the proportion of over-30 hours women workers.
