"The study shows that employees who work remotely spend more hours working each week than those who do not. This is true for both women and men, but the association is stronger among women and mothers than it is among men and fathers. However, the analyses in the report show that selection effects have a significant impact on these results and that the causal link between remote work and working hours can be considered weak. Overall, the results indicate no more than marginal average effects on gender equality in the labour market in terms of weekly working hours."
