The primary objective of the master’s thesis was to obtain data from the Labour Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia, review, clean, anonymize, and prepare them appropriately for further analytical processing, while consistently adhering to ethical and legal standards of data handling. The content aim of the thesis was to examine the extent and the way remote work has persisted in specific economic sectors, as well as to identify differences across time periods and regions.The findings indicate that the volume of remote work, after an initial increase during the pandemic, gradually declined after 2022. The highest number of remote work applications was recorded in the Central Slovenia region and in sectors where digital technologies enable such work arrangements (education, public administration, and information services), with notable regional disparities. A comparison with European data (Eurofound) confirms similar trends at the EU level, particularly the growing prevalence of hybrid work models in the long term and sectoral differences in access to remote work.
