Frequently Asked Questions
In 2025, **5.2%** of employed persons in Lithuania usually worked from home, 3.8pp 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.
Lithuania's usually-from-home rate was 2.5% in 2019. It peaked at **9.2%** in 2021 as pandemic restrictions prompted widespread shifts to remote work. By 2025 the rate had partially retreated to 5.2%, settling 2.7pp above the pre-COVID baseline — suggesting a lasting structural change in Lithuania's working patterns.
At 5.2% in 2025, Lithuania ranks below the EU median for home working penetration, 3.8pp below the EU-27 benchmark. For context, the highest EU rate is approximately 21% (Finland) and the lowest around 1.3% (Romania). Lithuania's position reflects its mix of knowledge-economy and in-person employment.
The series spans 2002 to 2025. The rate hovered near 1.6% in 2005 — its lowest recorded level — before the pandemic-driven surge to a peak of 9.2% in 2021. Since then, the rate has partially normalised, with the 2025 reading of 5.2% indicating that a meaningful share of the pandemic-era shift has been retained.
