We find that own and partner work location arrangements matter for weekly hours worked. For example, men switching to remote from onsite is associated with their working ⬇️ hours unless their partners switch to hybrid from onsite.

At the couple-level, both partners switching to remote is associated with a 3.6% ⬇️ in joint hours.

Men and women switching to hybrid from onsite is associated with ⬆️ hours regardless of where their partners work. At the couple-level, both partners switching to hybrid is associated with a 5.4% ⬆️ in joint hours.

This could have implications for employee performance—hybrid work may induce higher effort compared with fully remote or fully onsite jobs.

Results also suggest that hybrid, but not fully remote, work for women has the potential to improve women’s position in the labor market if there is a wage premium for working long hours and working long hours increases the likelihood of a promotion.

Lastly, we find that within-couple labor hours inequality ⬆️ (i.e. the woman's share of total couple work hours ⬇️) when women switch to a remote schedule but ⬇️ when women switch to a hybrid schedule unless their partners also switch to a hybrid schedule., in which there is no change.
