      With an 18-month-old babbling and wailing in the back of a car outside her daughter’s primary school, Nicole Greene laughs at how ‚on-brand‘ she is to discuss how working from home could help increase fertility rates.

      The 39-year-old founder of a communications consultancy says the decision to shift her agency entirely to remote working was a major factor not just in attracting talent in a predominantly female industry, but in deciding she could have another child.

      As more people opt to have fewer children while employers push to get staff back to the office, Green’s decision reflects a broader tension between work and family. And, according to new research funded by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, her calculation that remote working makes growing a family possible is not unusual.

      Having more time to care for children without having to spend all day in an office?

      Less expenses since there is no need to pay huge rents to live in a high COL area?

      I think of those two things (money and time), assuming that those have an effect in the choice to have kids or not I can see how this would work.

      It’s nice that the founder of a company can change the rules to suit herself and doesn’t have a board or shareholders to report to.

      No, the couples who already work from home are a large demographic which could show if this was the case

      However, these couples where both work from home, the best case scenario for this policy, do not have more kids than those who don’t

      In fact, due to these couples usually being higher income on average, they tend to have LESS kids than average

      If it could, we’d already be seeing it happening in the form of a post covid fertility bounce.

      This sounds terrible. Like they’re assuming „just being present in the home“ is the same as taking care of the children.

      I don’t think so. Because you still need to work and not look after the child. What would solve the global fertility crisis is a 20hr week or cheap enough essentials (housing) to allow one parent to be at home.

      Environmental issues have caused a 50% decline in sperm count in men across the globe. But hey, give it a try.
