“…Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge that remote work does come with its own set of challenges. Research has identified potential concerns including the blurring of boundaries between work and personal life, feelings of isolation, and a decrease in collaboration opportunities (Rauch, 2022;Torres & Orhan 2021). Organizations need to implement supportive policies, effective communication strategies, and adequate social support systems to mitigate these challenges and ensure the successful implementation of remote work.…”

In the digital era, remote work has rapidly expanded, leading to important economic changes. This study delves into the complex effects of remote work on several economic components such as productivity, cost-effectiveness, employment prospects, and work-life equilibrium. It discusses both the advantages and the complexities involved in remote work, with consideration for elements such as technological progression, corporate tactics, and the influence of worldwide incidents like the COVID-19 pandemic. This research illuminates the economic outcomes of remote work in both advanced and emerging markets, particularly focusing on Nigeria and the USA, through an in-depth review of existing scholarly work. The research indicates that remote work can improve efficiency, lower running expenses, and stimulate job creation. Additionally, it affords employees more flexibility, enhances the balance between work and personal life, and facilitates labor market participation without geographic limitations. Nevertheless, to fully exploit the economic gains of remote work, issues related to communication, coordination, and social isolation must be appropriately addressed. This research underscores the necessity of policy initiatives, business strategies, and technological evolution to augment the economic benefits of remote work and mitigate its drawbacks. By comprehending the economic ramifications of remote work, policymakers, companies, and individuals are better equipped to utilize its potential for economic expansion, resilience, and enhanced living standards.

“…For instance, employees who were also parents of school students had to share their workspaces with them. The availability of space and connectivity to the internet became a major problem for a lot of households with multiple residents using the space and internet simultaneously for different activities (Torres & Orhan, 2022). Thus, the work-life balance of parents presented a heightened set of challenges compared to employees who do not have children.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many people to work from home. Even after pandemic restrictions have been lifted, many parents continue to work from home. This poses several challenges and has led to a number of issues related to sharing rooms and equipment, dealing with distractions, and dealing with feelings. This paper examines the issues that arose for parents working from home in Flanders within these three categories, and recommends potential solutions. Data were collected through a survey. The target population of the survey was a group of Flemish parents with children under the age of 18 and working from home during the lockdown. The main findings of the research are summarized as follows. Most respondents did not have a separate workspace at home. This means that parents experienced different distractions at home than while working from the office. Children were the number one distraction for parents working from home. The care of children and the lack of work-life balance were also the main sources of conflict. However, the feelings when working from home are not only negative. Parents felt frustration and powerlessness, as well as motivation and happiness. Based on the analysis of the responses, recommendations are formulated from parents to parents on how to organise working from home with children.
