The proportion of German people working from home fell only slightly in April, according to a survey published on Monday, despite the country lifting remote-working requirements brought into force to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Ifo economic institute said its survey of 9,000 companies showed 24.9% of German employees worked from home at least part of the time in April, compared with 27.6% the previous month.
"This means the number of people working from home remains at a high level following the abolition of the remote-working obligation on March 20," said Jean-Victor Alipour, an Ifo expert on working from home.
