Description

New data from Australias Bureau of Statistics uncovers a hidden cost of working from home: an extra hour daily on unpaid tasks. Women and mothers are particularly affected, spending more time on household chores and childcare. Despite some benefits, like extra free time, the added unpaid labor often negates these perks. Meanwhile, Australians spend nearly three hours daily on screens, with in-person socializing still preferred over online interactions. These findings highlight the challenges of balancing work and life in the digital age.
