Summary:

  • Remote work hasn't spread jobs more evenly across the UK as initially hoped

  • High-skilled professionals continue to cluster around London and major cities

  • The shift to remote work hasn't significantly changed where people live

Hopes that working from home would help struggling UK regions attract high-skilled workers are not being realised, according to the findings of a new research project.

Working from home has surged since the Covid-19 pandemic, especially among older, high-skilled professionals in and around London and other major cities. However, a report and series of policy briefings by a team of researchers reveal this hasn’t significantly changed where people live, or helped spread talent more evenly across the country.
