Summary/Abstract: This article examines the popularization of remote work in Poland between 2020 and 2024, drawing on data from Statistics Poland (GUS). The observed trends are interpreted within the framework of reflexive modernization. The analysis shows that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly accelerated the flexibilization of the labour market, leading to a sustained increase in remote work, especially in knowledge-based sectors and the most modernized regions of the country. The article focuses on the scale and dynamics of remote work, exploring its demographic, spatial, and sectoral variations, as well as the associated inequalities. It is based on a comprehensive analysis of the GUS data on remote work and contributes to the existing Polish literature by offering an integrated study of this phenomenon.
