Education & age | ONS data reveals deep 'societal divides' in how likely someone is to do hybrid work

Latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that employees with a degree-level education are ten times more likely to work under a hybrid model than those without qualifications.

According to the analysis, the ONS found that other factors including age, seniority, and job type also influence how likely someone is to have a hybrid work arrangement with their employer.

“In 2022, we asked the question: ‘Is hybrid working here to stay?’ It appears it is, but for some workers more than others,” it said.

Richard Partington, Economics Correspondent for the Guardian, described the disparity between those with and without degree-level qualifications as a ‘societal divide.’
