According to the poll, no substantial difference could be observed between people living in apartments and people living in houses. Parents (52%) have made more use of remote work than people without children (45%).
Especially people above the age of 55 have resorted to home office, which can be traced back to increased vulnerability for the coronavirus. 3 out 4 people currently working from home do so because of the crisis.
