In 2020, 3.67 million people were working from home in the Netherlands. About two million of these worked remotely sporadically, whilst 1.6 millions worked from home regularly. Between 2013 and 2019, both figures had gradually been increasing, until 2020, where the number of people working remotely regularly drastically increased, while the number of people working from home sporadically significantly decreased. This could suggest that many people who worked from home sporadically now worked from home regularly as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
