About this Dataset
Greece recorded 4.5% of employed persons in the hybrid (sometimes works from home) category in 2025, 9.6pp below the EU-27 average of 14.1%. The series begins in 2011 at 2% and has grown as hybrid working has become the dominant flexible-work model across Europe post-pandemic.
Data sourced from Eurostat Labour Force Survey via SDMX REST API (LFSA_EHOMP, frequenc=SMT). Values are harmonised to ensure cross-country comparability.

Frequently Asked Questions
In 2025, **4.5%** of employed persons in Greece sometimes worked from home — the hybrid category in Eurostat's EU Labour Force Survey, covering those who work remotely on some but not most working days. This puts Greece 9.6pp below the EU-27 average of 14.1%.
Eurostat's EU LFS separates home workers into two mutually exclusive categories. 'Usually works from home' (frequenc=USU) applies to persons for whom home is the primary work location — the majority of their working days. 'Sometimes works from home' (frequenc=SMT) covers hybrid workers who work remotely on some days but spend most of their time at an employer's premises. Adding both rates gives the share of all employed persons with any home-working arrangement.
At 4.5% in 2025, Greece's sometimes-from-home rate is 9.6pp below the EU-27 average of 14.1%. Hybrid working penetration across the EU ranges from above 40% in the Netherlands to under 4% in some eastern and southern member states. Greece's relative position reflects its industrial structure, digital infrastructure quality, and the prevalence of knowledge-economy employment.
Greece's sometimes-from-home series begins in 2011 with a rate of 2%. By 2019 this had grown to 3.3%. The post-COVID period has seen strong growth in hybrid working, reaching 4.5% in 2025. This pattern — gradually rising hybrid work post-pandemic — is broadly consistent with the EU-27 trend.
