53% of young rural people say they would like to work from home or from a remote working hub in the future.
The young people were respondents to the Macra na Feirme Rural Youth Survey which posed a series of questions concerning their work/life balance and the impact of Covid-19 on their lives.
34% of respondents answered that they would
not like to work from home or from a remote work hub in the future.
Macra na Feirme national president Thomas Duffy said:
We have already seen that young people have been disproportionately affected by this pandemic, not just in terms of loss of jobs but socially too.
