Sažetak
COVID-19 pandemic impacted not only health systems but also economies and businesses around the world. In an attempt to deal with the disease, countries adopted number of measures such as lockdown, social distancing, and stay-at-home orders what consequently reflected into labour markets. Working from home became new normal way of performing job tasks and this topic became the focus of interest of professionals and academics. The aim of this paper is to explore the characteristics, both demographic and firm related, linked to work from home in the pre- pandemic period 2008-2018, as well to establish a relationship between home-based work and the level of income. Examining the characteristics of individuals who can work from home, identifying vulnerable groups and industries can help policymakers to target policies towards particularly affected workers in the post COVID-19 pandemic period. Incidence of home-based working in Croatia is not a large one. In 2018, only 6% of workers stated that they usually or sometimes work from home. In order to explore the probability of home-based work, logistic regression is used on the basis of the data from Labour Force Survey for the period 2008-2018. Correlation coefficient is used to establish relationship between income levels and working from home.
