📈 A study published in the American Economic Review: Insights (2026, Vol. 8, Issue 2) by Bloom, Dahl, and Rooth investigates the connection between the surge in remote work and the significant increase in disability employment since the pandemic.

🏡 The research found that a 1% rise in Work from Home (WFH) led to a 1% increase in full-time employment for individuals with physical disabilities. The post-pandemic WFH boom is credited with explaining 68-85% of this rise in full-time disability employment.

💰 Wage data indicates that WFH likely boosted the supply of workers with physical disabilities by lowering commuting costs and allowing for better management of work conditions.

🏠 Fully remote workers report the highest well-being in a study of 7,704 employees at a healthcare organization.

🤝 The study found little evidence that remote workers felt less connected to colleagues or workplace culture, and they were even slightly more likely to use words associated with teamwork, inclusion, and support.

📉 Employees with higher well-being, linked to remote work, were less likely to leave the organization one year after the survey was completed in 2023.

✅ Positive workplace connection was most frequently mentioned by remote employees, though the difference was not statistically significant.

✅ Turnover rates one year after the survey were lowest for remote workers (7.8%) and highest for onsite employees (8.8%), but these differences were not statistically significant.

🧠 A small study of 45 young adults (18-25) in France found that heavy reliance on ChatGPT can reduce critical thinking, diminish memory, and lead to social isolation by discouraging independent thought and causing users to externalize memory.

🗣️ Participants reported experiencing "intellectual laziness," shorter attention spans, and a decline in self-trust, sometimes seeking AI validation for simple decisions and feeling paralyzed when the software was offline.

🤝 Some users preferred interacting with ChatGPT over peers or teachers, leading to social isolation and substituting genuine human connection with machine responses, potentially weakening interpersonal skills and empathy.

💡 Conversely, users who treated ChatGPT as a collaborative tool for tedious tasks or brainstorming, rather than a replacement for their own minds, found it boosted creativity, confidence, and reduced anxiety.

😴 People sleep about 15 minutes longer when working from home compared to in the office, according to a University of Turku study.

🛋️ Remote workdays also involve 45 minutes more sitting/lying down, with less standing and physical activity.

🚶 This increase in sedentary time is partly due to the absence of commuting, with walking and cycling replaced by more inactive periods at home.
