The French are more cautious than their European neighbors about the practice of teleworking

Published on : Modified :

Despite the two years of pandemic and the restrictive measures to fight once morest the health crisis, the practice of teleworking remains for the French a one-off response, and not a new way of working. The Ifop comparative study was carried out between September 21 and 27, 2021 in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, with employees drawn from representative samples.

Even if teleworking has gained ground, the French are still lagging behind in the practice of teleworking. As proof, not only fewer working people in France have access to teleworking, but also practice it at a slower pace than elsewhere.

Only 29% of working people telework

According to the study, only 29% of working French people say they telework at least once a week, once morest 51% of Germans, 50% of Italians, 42% of British and 36% of Spaniards. As for the number of days teleworked, it is on average 4 to 5 days per week: 30% of Italians telework 4 to 5 days per week, once morest 11% of French.

More generally, the socio-professional category marks a divide. The CSP +, that is to say the executives, the liberal professions or even the most qualified civil servants have more access to telework than the CSP-, that is to say the workers, the employees. But it is in France that the gap is greatest with 56% of CSP + and 17% of CSP- who have access to teleworking.

Finally, if the ideal weekly teleworking average desired by workers is 2.7 days for the Germans, it is only 1.8 days for the French.
