I asked Gemini: "According to a Stanford study at
one couple working from home will produce 0.32 child. How many couples working from home would it take to produce one whole child?"
Answer from Gemini: Based on the study Work from Home and Fertility, it would take approximately 3.125 couples (or 4 couples to ensure at least one "whole" child) to produce one additional child compared to couples where neither partner works from home. Here is the breakdown of that calculation: The study estimates that lifetime fertility is greater by 0.32 children per woman (couple) when both partners work from home (WFH) one or more days per week compared to when neither does. To find the number of couples needed to reach an increase of 1.0 child: 1 \div 0.32 = 3.125. The study notes that this effect is even more pronounced in the United States specifically, where the estimated increase is 0.45 children per woman when both partners WFH. In the U.S. context, it would only take about 2.22 couples working from home to produce one additional child.
