In 2022, the proportion of telecommuters decreased in the majority of EU member states compared to the previous year. In Hungary, only 10.6 percent of the working-age population regularly or occasionally teleworked their activities, which is considered a low figure even in the region.

The lowest rates are found in Romania (4.3%), Bulgaria (4.4%) and Hungary (10.6%), while the highest rates are registered in the Netherlands (53%), Sweden (45%) and Luxembourg (40%). . The EU average was 22.4%.

According to József Nógrádi, Trenkwalder’s commercial director, a further decrease in the proportion of remote work is expected this year. Companies started narrowing the possibilities of the home office, justifying the better controllability of office work.
