How many people are working from home?

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic just 5% of people worked from home in Europe, while in the US only 7% of the workforce made their home their office. But now more people than ever are working from home as much of the world has gone into lockdown. And as governments start to reopen their countries and businesses, the rules of social distancing will mean that some office workers and businesses will continue to stay at home wherever possible. Not only that but the demand for remote working may rise, as many workers become accustomed to the benefits of working from home culture. Click or scroll through to find out how many people are working from home in countries around the world today.
