This graphic ranks the countries with the highest number of mandatory paid time off in annual business days. Importantly, this list does not include:
  • Saturdays and Sundays
  • National public holidays
  • Religious holidays
For example, a country can state its leave policy as โ€œ30 days offโ€ but if they are calendar days, that results in roughly 22 work days off in a year after removing weekends. Only countries with 24 or more work days off have made it to this ranking.

and it is not surprising that no Latin American country appears in the image... because since I arrived here in Lima, Peru I see how the majority of people, not to mention almost all of them, work 10 hours a day and almost the only holidays where Nobody works, it's only 2 days during their national holidays in July and nothing more... I personally believe that one should not live to work... because the family is neglected, which is what matters most... what good does it do you if your children have the most expensive toys or shoes... they are not going to remember that when they grow up... they are going to remember the happy moments or moments that their parents spent with them... that is the truth.
