Reply to comment by Wild_Garlic in Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico

Also factor in the complexity of two people in a relationship and their ability to relocate to a rural area:

  • They both have to have fully remote positions.
  • They both have to be in agreement to move to a rural area.

Add children into the mix and that’s a potential solid 12+ years of inability to relocate.

That's a good point but I see home saleability as a bigger issue for relocation than having kids.

I think it's cooled in areas at least due to the interest rate increases.

Yeah with interest rates rising so fast housing has definitely cooled off
