ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
In this study, we aimed to describe the effect of working from home on work conditions and private life by analyzing reported changes in different work-related factors.METHODS:
We used descriptive analyses on cross-sectional data of 4985 people aged 20 to 67 years from Stockholm, Sweden collected in 2021. The prevalence of reported changes for factors related to work and private life was analyzed by degree of work from home and stratified by age, sex, and educational level.RESULTS:
Participants who worked from home reported increased opportunities to structure the workday and combine work and private life, while at the same time experiencing increased isolation from the workplace. More females reported increased workload, whereas younger adults reported more changes overall.CONCLUSIONS:
Working from home was related to experiencing both positive and negative changes in work conditions and private life.
