Abstract: In the context of Covid-19 pandemic that accelerated the transition towards working from home, a question was raised worldwide: how many and what jobs are amenable to working from home? We analyze the literature and available quantitative and qualitative data to understand the characteristics of working from home in Romania. We assess the occupations in the Classification of Occupations in Romania (COR) to see how many are amenable to working from home and merge the results with the available statistical data regarding the employed population in Romania in 2019 by COR occupation groups. We estimate that 46% of the Romanian COR occupations are amenable to working from home, while 1,7 million Romanian employees can perform home-based work. We acknowledge that jobs that could be performed remotely in Romania require at least a college degree, as they are found in the COR occupational groups specific to employees with tertiary education.
