With the increase in prevalence of working from home (WFH), understanding its impact on health has become more relevant. However, possibility that effects may depend specific WFH arrangement largely been ignored research. The aim this study is to offer a differentiated view by distinguishing between informal overtime at and telework during recognized time when assessing associations with mental physical complaints. Moreover, extent considered. also differentiates group non-users voluntary non-use employer-directed non-use. We apply OLS regression models clustered standard errors occupation probability-based survey data representative employees Germany. analytical sample was restricted whose job tasks could be performed (N = 10,365). Compared non-users, associated complaints, while fewer beneficial association only applies relatively small extents telework. At higher telework, advantages disappear, those for tend remain. This suggests nuanced look patterns use essential gauging health.

COVID-19 prompted a significant number of employees to shift remote work for the first time, potentially reshaping future patterns. This study examines post-COVID impacts on telecommuting, commuting behaviour, travel activities, and lifestyles in city Adelaide, South Australia. A multivariate nominal logistic regression analysis 305 post-restriction survey responses revealed that home distance from CBD, industry, occupation, income significantly influence telecommuting trends. Individuals living over 20 kilometres those professional or managerial roles, higher-income earners (>125k) are more prone regular highlighting impact commute lengths, job flexibility, financial resources ability remotely. The higher adoption post-COVID, with individuals working often each week. led reduced usage private cars public transport, indicating decrease overall frequency. Respondents also adopted flexible schedules, resulting fewer peak-hour commutes, which would have resulted lower congestion emissions sustainable practices. investigated perspectives, revealing preference 3–4 days Some respondents who initially could not telecommute since considered it feasible want adopt it. Notably, about 25% even change jobs flexible, home-based arrangements. study’s results suggest frequency may individuals’ house location preferences. These findings offer valuable insights transport urban planning considerations era.

As COVID-19 slowly dissipated after 30 months since March 2020, working from home (WFH) continues to be popular, with support notable numbers of employees and employers. There is growing evidence that we have either reached, or appear close to, a level WFH − some extent might described as an equilibrium outcome going forward. Hence, there need update any travel behaviour response models been developed during the passage pandemic.

Abstract Issue Addressed This paper aims to explore Victoria parents' perceptions of their current practices and barriers in providing school lunches for primary children. Methods Respondents were asked via an online survey about lunch provision practices, the healthiness lunches, healthy lunches. Data analysed using different statistical techniques: Chi‐square test, Spearman correlation analysis, Mann–Whitney U Kruskal–Wallis test. Results In total, 359 respondents completed survey. Most (84%) reported child takes a home‐packed every day. provided fruits (94%), vegetables (57%), sandwiches (54%) day whilst other core food items such as milk, meats, legumes less frequently. A substantial proportion some discretionary frequently (e.g., selected daily or 3–4 times/week: salty crackers—50%, sweet cookies/biscuits—40%, chips—20%). strongly agreed with several barriers; examples include not packing certain foods due spoilage concerns (50%) ( school‐related ), allocated time at child's is enough eat enjoy (48%) need more meal ideas (61%) parent‐related take prepare (51%) children request easy‐to‐eat child‐related ). Core score (an indicator frequency preparing/packing food) was negatively correlated barrier scores, positively these scores. Conclusions Overall, remain main option schools Victoria, parents face challenges So What? The findings suggest strategies from leaders, education authorities, policymakers improve quality content address faced by parents.

The Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on people's travel behaviour and their perception of various transportation modes. This paper presents the results two cross-sectional surveys conducted in Tehran, Iran, during after pandemic. Multivariate ordered logit modelling is used to identify factors that influence usage explore interrelationships by analysing correlations among utility frequency use private car, public transportation, ride-hailing collective line taxi. Socioeconomic characteristics contribute significantly. Low-income individuals were more likely transport pandemic, whereas university students sector employees prone ride-hailing. Women tended more, especially post-pandemic period. findings suggest while, whole, has increased for all modes period, terms commuting modal share, metro gained substantially car lost. Ride-hailing proved highly resilient Tehran's mobility landscape. Correlation analysis indicated clear contrast between cars transport/collective taxis, which further heightened Although complements both it does not exhibit meaningful with car.

The abrupt switch to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic has not only altered people's commutes but also changed their entire work-life balance. While some workers were quick adapt and maintain or even increase productivity, others experienced a decrease in productivity. Self-assessed productivity changes after switching traditional in-person is studied using survey of 3,780 (including full-time college students). A probabilistic statistical model used estimate probabilities that workers' self-reported remained same, decreased, ways increased other increased. estimation results identify who resilient adaptable (having higher probability increasing productivity) those less adaptive workers, more likely experience It was found race, ethnicity, household income, size, education, gender, presence children household, level life satisfaction, being student, prior with online meetings, commute distances all play role how changed.

Any significant share these tech workers staying remote may have profound long-term impacts on aggregate travel patterns region. This research seeks predict magnitude and derive insights about newly learned behaviors workers, as indicative remote-eligible general. A survey over 660 ran from November 2021 March 2022, asking participants' employers work policies, commute details mode preferences, non-work trips, interest relocation. Respondents expected employer-driven hybrid arrangements 2–3 days per week office after pandemic, which turn dictated number predicted future commuting trips suppressed Though almost respondents expressed moving, they only planned move a median 20.93 miles within region but shifting away their offices towards less dense automobile-oriented suburban neighborhoods. Additionally, those moving ten likely switch sustainable modes.
