Abstract:
Concepts, history, similarities and non-similarities between remote and classical work will there below
be found to be approached through statistical analyses in the EU member countries. Eurostat, the official EU
statistics, through its department called Labour Force Survey (LFS), was used especially for data of previous
years and decades in Europe, but for the last 2021-2022 interval results of scale survey conducted by the
European Foundation for the Improvement of Working and Living Conditions(Eurofound) were rather decisive.
This latter was a live survey made by Eurofound and called Living, Working and COVID-19 Series. Its aim was
responding to the newly arisen difficulty on the search of that common denominator, as conceptual and legal, for
all EU member States in the respect of remote work. This survey research was enough helpful to this paper in
understanding the impact of work organization and its specific measures taken during pandemic on all activities,
production, productivity and especially on employees in the EU.
