AbstractOver half of the U.S. workforce works from home at least one day per week. The shift to remote work, catalyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic, has revolutionized our relationship with work. Evidence from multiple nationally-representative surveys indicates that working remotely, at least some of the time, has benefits for worker well-being (Parker Horowitz, & Minkin 2020; 2022; Saad & Wigert, 2021). However remote workers also have been found to struggle with stress and social isolation. To date there has been little research conducted on the impact of remote work on well-being across the adult life course. This study examines how older remote workers (aged 65+) compare to mid-life (aged 45-64) and young adult (aged 18-44) remote workers in terms of their experiences with remote work and its impact on well-being (Figure 1).Keywords: remote work, older adults, life-course, well-being, environment
