Just saw a report on remote work share by country.

If you are an expat looking for flexibility, the numbers for 2026 are a bit of a warning for Japan and South Korea they have the lowest remote adoption at 18% and 16%. Meanwhile, the UK and Canada are at 30% plus. It is a huge factor to consider if you are planning to relocate this year. The culture of "being in the office" is still very much the norm in some hubs.
