Many people who have tried working from home have found that their productivity and work suffered. Many new parents have tried working at home as a solution to their child care dilemma. Also, with the increasing number of baby boomers in ill health, many people have chosen to work at home to help care for aged or infirm parents. Workers with certain disabilities may find that working from home is the best solution to avoid travel and access problems. Finally, some careers, such as freelance writing, may require that an employee work independently out of an office. Renting office space may be too expensive or inconvenient for a freelance employee, so working from home may be the best solution. Whatever the reason, working at home may present challenges that working in an office or other workplace did not.
