How Much Home Office Potential is there in the Austrian Labour Market?
WIFO Research Brief by Julia Bock-Schappelwein
Until now, home office has been an instrument that was addressed to a small number of employed people, if at all, and was often only used temporally. With the measures taken by the Government to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, the home became a place of work for many workers more or less overnight.
On the basis of employment by task, WIFO identifies a home office potential of around 45 percent; this potential is slightly higher for women than for men.
