自2019冠状病毒病疫情爆发以来，在家工作已成为欧盟和全球数百万工人的常态。Eurofound（2020）的早期估计表明，由于疫情的影响，目前在欧盟工作的人中有近40%开始全职远程工作。JRC最近的一项研究提供了一个粗略的估计，在整个欧盟远程工作部门的就业率约为25%。考虑到在疫情爆发前，欧盟只有15%的就业者曾经远程工作过，大量的工人和雇主很可能都面临着应对突然转向远程工作的挑战。然而，这些困难的程度可能有很大差异，除其他因素外，取决于以前远程工作的经验水平。在其最近关于2020年国别建议的通报中，委员会强调了远程工作在2019冠状病毒病危机背景下保护就业和生产方面的重要作用。在此背景下，本简报根据疫情爆发前欧盟国家、部门和职业普遍采用远程工作的趋势，讨论了各国、雇主和工人在适应新的在家工作环境方面面临的挑战。特别是，以下内容试图回答以下问题：i）在COVID-19大流行之前，哪些工人已经在欧盟进行远程办公？;（二）远程工作在欧盟哪里更普遍，为什么？（三）未来远程工作模式将如何发展？
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic working from home has become the norm for millions of workers in the EU and worldwide. Early estimates from Eurofound (2020) suggest that close to 40% of those currently working in the EU began to telework fulltime as a result of the pandemic. A recent JRC study provides a rough estimation of around 25% of employment in teleworkable sectors in the EU as a whole. Considering that before the outbreak just 15% of the employed in the EU had ever teleworked, large numbers of workers and employers alike are, in all probability, facing challenges in dealing with the sudden shift to telework. The extent of these difficulties, however, is likely to vary considerably, depending among other factors on the level of prior experience with telework. In its recent communication on the 2020 country-specific recommendations the Commission highlights the important role of telework in preserving jobs and production in the context of the Covid-19 crisis. Against this backdrop, this brief discusses the challenges that countries, employers and workers are facing in adapting to the new work-from-home environment, on the basis of pre-outbreak trends in the prevalence of telework across EU countries, sectors and occupations. In particular, what follows tries to answer to the following issues: i) Which workers were already teleworking in the EU before the COVID-19 pandemic?; ii) Where in the EU was telework more widespread, and why?, iii) How could telework patterns develop in the future?
