The diagram illustrates the underlying reasons why employees opted for work from home and the workload of both males and females in the year 2019.
Overall, it is clear that the main reason for staying at home was to economise money for both genders. Strikingly, males’ workload was significantly higher than their counterparts.
To start with, more than two-fifths of men and women indicated money to be the primary reason of remote work. The number of females working online for easier childcare, which is six times higher than males, made up a bit more than a quarter. As for the category of staying productive, more males tended to be working remotely than women, at 24 and 11 percents, respectively.
Looking at the work volume, 81 percent of males worked over 30 hours per week, 13 times more than that of females. By contrast, three-quarters of all women did not exeed over 10 hours. Meanwhile, both of them who worked 10 to 30 hours accounted for less than a quarter.
