> A 2015 study from Stanford University in California found that productivity among call-center employees at Chinese travel agency Ctrip went up by 13% when they worked from home due to fewer breaks and more comfortable work environments.

This study which they (And everyone repetitively) quotes, was fulltime.

But part time and for periods when other things in someones life are stressful, I agree it can make sense. Same for part time study.

"The flat wage <> averaging around ¥1,300 per month. The bonus portion depended on the individual’s monthly performance and averaged about ¥1,000 ($160) per month."

I'm dubious why this study keeps getting quoted, it's not great to compare too.
