Danes are working from home less than almost any other country in the world, averaging only 0.9 days per week. This is according to a new report from WFH Research.

The study, which included 40 countries, reveals a significant disparity in remote work habits. Canadians lead the way, working from home an average of 1.9 days per week, double that of Danes.

Other countries like the UK, USA, and Germany are also ahead, with 1.8, 1.6, and 1.6 home working days each week respectively. Nordic countries also show a higher prevalence of remote work, with Finns working 1.7 days and Swedes 1.3 days at home. Norway mirrors Denmark with 0.9 days. China and South Korea are at the bottom of the list with 0.6 and 0.5 days respectively.

The report was reviewed by Torsten Sløk, chief economist from Apollo, highlighting the growing trend of remote work and the position of Denmark compared to the rest of the world.
