Frequently Asked Questions
In 2025, **2.3%** of employed persons in Greece usually worked from home, 6.7pp 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.
Greece's usually-from-home rate was 1.9% in 2019. It peaked at **7%** in 2020 as pandemic restrictions prompted widespread shifts to remote work. By 2025 the rate had partially retreated to 2.3%, settling 0.4pp above the pre-COVID baseline — suggesting a lasting structural change in Greece's working patterns.
At 2.3% in 2025, Greece ranks below the EU median for home working penetration, 6.7pp below the EU-27 benchmark. For context, the highest EU rate is approximately 21% (Finland) and the lowest around 1.3% (Romania). Greece's position reflects its mix of knowledge-economy and in-person employment.
The series spans 2002 to 2025. The rate hovered near 1.4% in 2007 — its lowest recorded level — before the pandemic-driven surge to a peak of 7% in 2020. Since then, the rate has partially normalised, with the 2025 reading of 2.3% indicating that a meaningful share of the pandemic-era shift has been retained.
