Where you live can have a major impact on whether you work from home.
Across Europe, workers in Finland are around 16 times more likely to work remotely than those in Romania, highlighting a stark divide in how countries have embraced home working.
According to Eurostat, 20.5% of workers in Finland usually worked from home in 2025, compared with just 1.3% in Romania. Eurostat defines "usually working from home" as doing productive work at home for at least half of the days worked over a four-week reference period.
“Remote work has become a permanent feature of labour markets, but its scale depends heavily on what kinds of jobs a country has and how firms manage workers,” Cevat Giray Aksoy, deputy director of research at the EBRD, told Euronews Business.
So, which European countries have the highest rates of working from home? And what explains the wide gap between countries?
