In a regional comparison, telecommuting is still not popular in Hungary
According to Eurostat data, 10.6 percent of Hungarian workers of working age worked at home or in hybrid work last year. This value is less than half of the 22.4 percent of the EU 27 countries. The backlog can be further increased by the fact that this year, primarily citing reasons of efficiency, a significant number of employers began to reassign (partially or fully) their employees to office work. Experience shows, however, that with the right framework, remote work – in addition to its many other advantages – does not cause efficiency problems.
Home is the main place of work for 2.8 percent of domestic workers, and another 7.8 percent carry out their work in an office and home environment. The country’s lagging behind in the field of home office is significant not only compared to Northern and Western European countries, but also compared to the countries of the region: while in Hungary 10.6 percent worked at least partially from home in 2022, in Poland 12.6%, in Slovakia 13, This rate was 1%, in the Czech Republic it was 15.7%, and in Austria it was 27.5%.
