Abstract
WFH (working from home) has been crucial to the economy during the Covid-19 pandemic and is expected to continue to grow in importance even after the pandemic. WFH is becoming more popular among employees due to benefits such as flexible work schedules and no or less frequent commuting. Given the prevalence of WFH, a large literature has studied various aspects of WFH, and this paper reviews the literature. As WFH is a work mode, the literature has mainly considered labor-economics related issues, including the feasibility of WFH across jobs and the effects of WFH on workers’ productivity and well-being. However, this paper views WFH as an economic and social change not just as a new work mode, as WFH has far-reaching effects on our society and economy. As such, this paper emphasizes the topics that have received relatively less attention such as WFH as a job amenity and the effects of WFH on the environment.
