Canadians work from home the most worldwide
July 20, 2023
Worldwide, Canadians have the greatest freedom to work from home, according to a recent report.
In Canada, WFH averages 1.7 days per week, reports German think tank ifo Institute.
Trailing Canada on the list are workers in the U.K. (1.5 days), the U.S. (1.4 days) and Australia (1.3 days). Meanwhile, workers in Chile, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands and New Zealand work from home once a week on average.
Workers in all the other countries included in the study work from home less than once a week on average.
“Even in the aftermath of the pandemic, the majority of workers highly value the opportunity to work from home for a portion of their workweek,” says the ifo, according to a Financial Post report.
Previously, four Canadian cities landed on a list ranking the best places for “workation,” where remote employees can work while enjoying a vacation.
