📗 In the 2nd #workingfromhome project policy briefing, David McCollum @standrewssgsd.bsky.social assesses who works from home and where, and what this means for residential mobility and the distribution of skilled human capital across the country @rgsibg.bsky.social www.cpc.ac.uk/docs/PB84_Wo...

CPC-CG Policy Briefing 84 front cover, published May 2025.

Working from home: Implications for residential mobility and spatial
inequalities

Since the Covid-19 pandemic began in early 2020, more people have started working from home either all of the time (working remotely) or some of the time (hybrid working). In the UK, this rapid increase has
been particularly noticeable among high-skill workers. This presents opportunities for addressing regional inequalities. For example, it could lead to people and businesses moving from expensive areas with overheating property markets to other relatively affordable ones, spreading skills and economic activity more evenly across
the country.
This briefing assesses who works from home and where, and what this means for residential mobility and the distribution of skilled human capital across the country. The analysis finds little evidence that the rise in working from home is reshaping residential mobilities. However, limited data makes it hard to tell if the changes are simply not being captured in the available data.
