Those who believe that the work-from-home concept is temporary and a by-product of the COVID-19 pandemic are in for a shock. A new report rated 108 countries based on societal and infrastructure factors found that Europe was by far the best place to do remote work in 2023. It has also indicated the trend would be a game-changer in the employment market as more and more companies across the world switch over to such practices.
Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the employment landscape has completely changed when it comes to working habits, with hybrid or remote working increasingly becoming a default option for many. A new report by cybersecurity platform Nordlayer has analyzed where the best places in the world to be a remote worker are – and found that Europe dominated the board with not only the top 10 spots but most of the top half as well.
The 2023 Global Remote Work Index collated the data from 108 countries and gave them scores based on how they shaped up based on various criteria, including access to stable, fast Internet connections, socio-economic benefits like health care as well as human rights protections.
The study found that Denmark occupied the top overall position when scores from the four key categories – cyber safety, digital and physical infrastructure, social safety, and economic safety – were taken into account. The pecking order of countries that topped the list in remote working is given below in the pecking order: –
Denmark
Netherlands
Germany
Spain
Portugal
Sweden
Estonia
Lithuania
Ireland

The top rankings were dominated by European countries. The Nordic countries are mostly at the top. One notable exception was Portugal. It ranked sixth in the overall ranking. However, it was much lower down the table (56th) when it came to the cost of living. Singapore, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates also figured in the overall rankings. Singapore placed 28th overall while South Korea performed better at 17th.
