Frequently Asked Questions
In 2025, **4.3%** of employed persons in Cyprus usually worked from home, 4.7pp below the EU-27 average of 9%. The indicator measures persons for whom home is the primary work location on the majority of their working days, as defined by Eurostat's EU Labour Force Survey.
Cyprus's usually-from-home rate was 1.4% in 2019. It peaked at **6.7%** in 2021 as pandemic restrictions prompted widespread shifts to remote work. By 2025 the rate had partially retreated to 4.3%, settling 2.9pp above the pre-COVID baseline — suggesting a lasting structural change in Cyprus's working patterns.
At 4.3% in 2025, Cyprus ranks below the EU median for home working penetration, 4.7pp below the EU-27 benchmark. For context, the highest EU rate is approximately 21% (Finland) and the lowest around 1.3% (Romania). Cyprus's position reflects its mix of knowledge-economy and in-person employment.
The series spans 2002 to 2025. The rate hovered near 0.6% in 2002 — its lowest recorded level — before the pandemic-driven surge to a peak of 6.7% in 2021. Since then, the rate has partially normalised, with the 2025 reading of 4.3% indicating that a meaningful share of the pandemic-era shift has been retained.
