Eurostat estimates the numbers of workers in three categories of non-stationery workplaces: 
• employed persons who work from home (covering mostly the three groups ‘Traditional work at 
home - production’, ‘Traditional work at home - services’, and ‘Teleworking’);  
• at the place of clients, for example, in domestic services and craft;82 and  
• at non-fixed or other places. 
The estimate for work from home before 2020 was at around 5.7 million or 2.9%.83 Work at the ‘client’s 
place’ is common for more than 9% or 18.5 million employed persons. More than 16 million workers 
work at ‘Non-fixed or other places’  that refers to a large proportion of workers in transport, tourism, 
construction and craft.
