"Champion" states for working from home, here's the country that

Germans work from home on an above-average number of days a week. In Europe, only the Finns work from home more. But the German average is also high in global comparison.

Working from home is very popular in Germany. In this country, people on average work from home more often than in other countries. This is shown by a new analysis of employees with university degrees in 40 countries by the ifo Institute for Economics.

According to her, people in Germany work from home on average 1.6 days a week. While the global average is 1.2 days a week of full-time work of at least six hours a day.

 “Despite prominent examples of companies bringing their employees back to the office, our results show that the trend of working from home has been stable worldwide since 2023 ,” says ifo researcher Mathias Dolls.

In Europe, only Finland has a higher percentage of academics working from home (an average of 1.7 days per week). While worldwide, working from home is quite widespread in Canada (1.9 days) and the United Kingdom (1.8 days).

In the US and India, people also work from home on an average of 1.6 days per week. Working from home is less common in South Korea (0.5 days), China and Greece (0.6 days each).

Among employee categories, those with young children are more likely to split their workweek between their "home office" and their workplace at the employer.

Those without children are more likely to work either fully remotely or fully locally. In almost all countries, the trend towards home-based work is similar for men and women. However, the desire to work from home is more pronounced among women with children than among women without children./DW
