Before the first coronavirus lockdown in Denmark in March 2020, only four percent of employees in the private sector were working from home on any given day. The share increased significantly during the lockdown, up to 34 percent of all employees, and as of fall 2020, 22 percent were in home office. It is estimated that 90 thousand more people will continue to work remotely in Denmark after workplace restrictions have been abolished.
