Returning to the office is frustrating for some, but others prefer remote work, allowing them to work from anywhere. If you are considering a new work destination, a ranking lists the best countries to work remotely.
NordLayer, a cybersecurity company, has published its second Global Remote Work Index (GRWI).

What is the Global Remote Work Index (GRWI)?
It ranks the best and worst countries for remote work based on four criteria: online security, economy, digital and physical infrastructure, and social security.
This 2023 update builds on last year’s edition and evaluates 108 destinations.

This method places Denmark as the best country for remote work. It excels in most criteria, but lags behind in online security, ranking 13th. Slovakia, Estonia and Lithuania are the top three countries for online security.
The Netherlands and Germany occupy the second and third positions in the Global Remote Work Index.
Following closely behind, Spain and Sweden also rank high. However, it is worth noting that Sweden’s performance in aspects of social security, such as human rights, inclusion and crime, is not outstanding. It ranks 15th in this category, with Switzerland, the Netherlands and Iceland leading the way in social security.
France is 15th overall, five places lower than last year.

While it may not be the most remote-working-friendly country, it still offers a decent destination due to its strong digital and physical infrastructure (fourth place) and social security (sixth place).
However, teleworkers may face language barriers, as English is not as commonly spoken in France as in other highly ranked countries, such as those in the Nordic and Scandinavian regions.
According to NordLayer, European nations dominated the top 10 countries for remote work. Canada ranked 14th and the United States ranked 16th. Here is the list:
