Between 2007 and 2014, all employees in the Netherlands worked at home a similar amount regardless of their living situation, ranging between five and 17 percent. This changed drastically in 2015 following the introduction of a flexible working law, as the percentage of employees working from home significantly increased, most so for employees living alone with a child or living in a couple at 41.7 and 41.3 respectively. Working from home increased in 2021 for everyone, with employees living in a couple increasing to 58.9 percent and employees living alone with children increasing to 52.2 percent.
