[서울신문] “Even after the corona, telecommuting will increase”

“Although home expansion, moving outside of Seoul,
Impact of education and convenience facilities Actual demand is limited”

The Bank of Korea predicted that telecommuting will expand even after the end of Corona 19. The BOK’s Bureau of Investigation reported on the 13th, “The spread of telecommuting due to the Corona 19 incident” said, “Corona 19 has improved awareness of telecommuting, and employees and companies have invested a lot of time and resources to work from home.” “Corona 19 Even if the company is over, telecommuting will increase.”

Regarding the productivity of telecommuting, he said, “There are areas that increase, but there are areas that decrease, so it is difficult to evaluate collectively. In a country where the average commuting time is long and the information technology (IT) infrastructure is developed, there is room for productivity improvement due to the expansion of telecommuting. There is.”

Although this expansion of homework will be an incentive to move outside of Seoul, the actual demand for moving to children’s education and convenience facilities will be limited. The BOK said, “By reducing the area required for offices in large cities, it can act as a factor that lowers the demand for commercial buildings in large cities. As the proximity of work and residence is not the only criterion for housing selection, the increase in demand for moving to suburbs will be limited.” Explained.
