This is according to Hanna Asmussen, CEO and co-founder of Localyze, a global mobility platform for companies and employees. In 2023, there was a continued interest in flexible working. Recent research from #WorkAnywhere has shown that remote workers in Europe and beyond are more satisfied with their jobs. Furthermore, from a business perspective... Читать дальше...

ShelfTalker’s first blogger, Alison Morris, returns to reflect on the blog’s 16 years, and her hopes and concerns for children’s publishing.
In normal times, the United States stands out among advanced democracies for its high levels of poverty and its low levels of aid. In 2019, right before Covid struck, America’s relative child poverty rate resembled that of Mexico or Bulgaria. Then, during the pandemic, the federal government enacted three enormous and historic relief bills. These […]
To be a man is to dominate others. This is what I absorbed as a boy: masculinity means mastery, power, control. To be socialized into manhood is to gain a love of hierarchy and a willingness to do whatever is necessary to preserve your own position within it. One of the many tragedies of this […]
Scandinoir was born in November 1939, when the Soviet Army invaded Finland and the Finnish artist and writer Tove Jansson wrote a story in which a mother and child find themselves in a wood: “Once upon a time a Moomintroll was walking with his mother through a very strange forest.” When the story was published […]
For a long time, two of the great gerontocracies were the Roman Catholic Church and the Chinese Communist Party. It is quite a thought that if Joe Biden were a Catholic bishop, he would have been required to submit his resignation to the pope five years ago. If he were a cardinal, he would, when […]
A friend of mine is a photographer or, as he puts it, an artist who uses photography. He’s also a professor, and I asked him recently if he finds it difficult to teach undergraduates. “Yes,” he said, “because photography doesn’t have to be art.” Unlike easel painting or classical ballet, photography is a fixture of […]

Growing up in India in the 1980s, I got the news of the day from Frontline—a magazine published in the southern city of Madras and known for its dry, no-nonsense reporting—and from TV shows like The World This Week, whose suave host could make neat summaries of the bloodiest conflicts. Thus I learned about the […]
When, in 2006, General Augusto Pinochet died of natural causes in a suburb of Santiago, at the age of ninety-one, many were dismayed to learn that the brutal dictator—responsible for the disappearance and death of thousands of Chileans—had gotten away with murder. On the day his demise was announced, I heard a guest on a […]
Nobody was holding a gun to your head when you started reading this. You made a choice. Surely it felt that way, at least. A sense of agency—of control over our actions, of continual decision-making—is part of the experience of being human, moment by moment and day by day. True, we sometimes just drift, like […]
In 1560 Paquiquineo, a young Kiskiack or Paspahegh man from the Chesapeake Bay area, was invited aboard a Spanish ship exploring the coast of North America. The boat’s captain thought Paquiquineo, the son of a chief, would be useful to Spanish forces whenever they decided to conquer the region, so he kidnapped him and took […]
The German novelistic tradition, like the Spanish, begins with a picaresque novel of memorable brutality. Grimmelshausen’s Simplicius Simplicissimus (1669) opens with an army marching into a village, raping, torturing, and massacring its inhabitants, and burning it down. The one hidden survivor is the novel’s narrator: twelve-year-old Simplicissimus, who has looked on stunned as his family […]
