Abstract

Homeoffice spielt in der Covid-19-Pandemie und den damit verbundenen Maßgaben zur sozialen Distanzierung eine zentrale Rolle. Berechnungen des ifo Instituts ergeben, dass etwa 56% aller Beschäftigten in Deutschland prinzipiell einen Zugang zu Homeoffice haben. Dabei wurde weniger als die Hälfte dieses Potenzials vor der Covid-19-Pandemie ausgeschöpft. Geringverdiener und Beschäftigte mit niedrigem Qualifikationsniveau können wesentlich seltener von zu Hause arbeiten. Ein höheres Homeoffice-Potenzial steht zudem mit regionalen Meldungen von Kurzarbeit und mit regionalen Infektionszahlen in einem negativen Zusammenhang. Die vollständige Verlagerung ins Homeoffice kann in naher Zukunft jedoch kein universelles Modell sein. Sowohl Betriebe als auch Beschäftigte werden eine hybride Arbeitsform zwischen Homeoffice und Präsenzarbeit bevorzugen.
