Jerbashian, VahagnVilalta-Bufí, Montserrat2022-09-012022-09-012022https://hdl.handle.net/2445/188574We use data from the EU Labour Force Survey for 8 countries and document the levels of working from home in the sample countries, industries, and occupations in the 2011-2019 period and its changes in 2020, the year when the COVID-19 pandemic started. We show that there are significant differences in working from home across countries, industries, and occupations and that working from home has increased almost everywhere in the 2011-2019 period and more significantly in 2020. Countries that had the lowest levels of working from home in 2019 enacted the most stringent stay-home and workplace closure policies and experienced the largest growth rates in working from home in 2020. Finally, we compute a measure of working from home capacity for the sample countries using the observed working from home levels.29 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd, (c) Jerbashian et al., 2022http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/TeletreballPandèmia de COVID-19, 2020-TelecommutingCOVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
