Among European Union (EU) countries, Luxembourg boasts the second-highest number of workers – between the ages of 15 and 64 – who work from home (12.7%), according to statistics bureau Eurostat.

The Netherlands tops the list, with 13.7%.

In Luxembourg, the opportunity of working from home is one that is often raised in job interviews, and workers between the ages of 18 and 38 place great importance on that possibility.

In 2017, the percentage of employed persons aged 15-64 in the EU who worked from home was 5.0%.

Luxembourg has more than double the EU average.

Bulgaria comes in at the bottom of the list at 0.3%.

Across Europe, working from home generally becomes more attractive and common with age.

This, however, is not the case in Luxembourg.

The Grand Duchy has the highest percentage of 15-24-year-olds who work from home in the EU.

Just over 10% of the people who work from home in Luxembourg are aged 15-24 compared with 4.2% in the Netherlands and 1.6% for the whole of the EU.
