If you work remotely, this study can help you find the best places to work.

The Global Remote Work Index 2023 ranks 108 countries based on what they offer as remote work destinations. Albania ranks 51st.

The index measures four key areas that determine the quality of remote work: cyber security, economy, infrastructure and social security – including security from crime and protection of human rights.
