As a consequence of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many households had to work from home, which is apparent in this survey data from the Netherlands. Before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, approximately 30.2 hours per week were worked in the office, whilst 3.8 hours were worked at home. After the pandemic, 26 hours were worked from home whilst 8 hours were worked from home. This is not perrfectly in line with that what people wish for, as those asked said they would prefer to work on average 25 hours in the office and 9 hours from home, a discrepancy of one hour in favor of working from home.
