About this ranking

Employed people aged 15 to 64 who usually work from home, as a percentage of all employed people aged 15 to 64. Since 2021, usually means at least half of the days worked in a reference period of four weeks.

People who work from home only sometimes are not included. The 2021 change in the survey question breaks the series for most countries. From the EU labour force survey. Eurostat flags series breaks (most in 2021, under the new framework regulation for social statistics); they are stored as status break.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
