Remote working moms spend more time with kids

The share of moms who are working full-time has been increasing for decades. And in recent years, many moms have chosen to work remotely. An IFS study found that moms who work full-time remotely spend on average 2.4 more hours per day with their young children compared to moms who work full-time in-person. This compares to the 4.6 additional hours part-time working moms spend with their kids, and 6.3 additional hours stay-at-home moms spend with their young children per day, compared to full-time moms working in-person. For many, remote work means more time with kids, and maybe even more kids overall.
