Frequently Asked Questions

In 2025, **11.6%** of employed persons in Luxembourg usually worked from home, 2.6pp above 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.
Luxembourg's usually-from-home rate was 11.8% in 2019. It peaked at **28.4%** in 2021 as pandemic restrictions prompted widespread shifts to remote work. By 2025 the rate had partially retreated to 11.6%, settling -0.2pp above the pre-COVID baseline — suggesting a lasting structural change in Luxembourg's working patterns.

For context, the highest EU rate is approximately 21% (Finland) and the lowest around 1.3% (Romania). Luxembourg's position reflects its mix of knowledge-economy and in-person employment.

Since then, the rate has partially normalised, with the 2025 reading of 11.6% indicating that a meaningful share of the pandemic-era shift has been retained.
