Cross-country variation in share of jobs that can be done at home.

Notes: Panel (a) depicts the share of jobs that can be done at home and GDP per capita for 86 economies. The shares are computed by mapping our classification of 6-digit SOC codes to 2-digit ISCO codes using country-specific weights as described in Appendix A. We use the most recent 2-digit ISCO employment counts available from the ILO for 2015 or later. GDP per capita in 2019 (at current prices and translated into international dollars using PPP exchange rates) comes from the International Monetary Fund. Panel (b) compares our country-level measures to the share of Eurofound survey respondents in 26 European countries reporting that they started to work from home due to COVID-19.
