I expect WFH skews around homeownership (itself loosely correlated with age) and has a downturn depending on children in the household.
I'm barely 30 and a homeowner, and loved working from home. I didn't have to waste hours on a stressful commute. I have a comfy gaming chair, expansive multi-monitor setup, wraparound desk, and silent but fast desktop instead of an aging laptop and 3x5' desk, the kitchen is tons nicer than the break roome, I enjoyed quiet walks in the woods or throwing the frisbee for my dog during breaks...it did suck hearing my 3yo through the door beg me to come out and take one of those breaks with him, but at least I got to do so and have lunch with him, and he figured it out pretty quickly. And no inane interruptions from coworkers when I was deep in a technical problem!
I think the main long-term social implications are a move back out of the city towards more rural or maybe suburban living. Quarantine would have been hell in a crowded downtown apartment with roommates you barely like well enough to share a bathroom with, on my acreage and in my old house with a mortgage that's cheaper than downtown rent it was not just digestible but magnificent, I would quarantine again in a heartbeat.
