Compensation has been criticized for a long time
Qingming, May Day, and the Dragon Boat Festival holiday followed, and "compensatory holiday" was once again pushed to the hot search.
Many netizens said that due to the continuous adjustment of holidays during the Qingming and May Day holidays in April, under the "make-up holiday" mode, three "six-day shifts" have been taken before and after the holidays.
Especially before and after the May Day holiday, they have to take time off to work, and the double rest has become a single holiday.
Singer Na Ying complained about the holiday on social platforms as early as 2013, and became the Internet substitute for netizens.
Weighing the rest is not only tiring, but also disrupts the rhythm of life, like an endocrine disorder.
More than 40,000 people voted on the topic "Would you like to take more vacation or not?" initiated by Phoenix Weekly.
Among them, 35,000 people expressed their desire not to take time off, and it was really devastating to contact them to work.
Only 10% of people believe that compensatory leave can get more leave at once and be able to plan more.
The essence of the off
In fact, the compensatory holiday is to make the statutory holidays and the original weekends through a patchwork method to form a small long holiday.
The working days that were released by the holiday were "made up" on the weekends before and after the holiday, and rounding off is equivalent to no holiday.
Its essence is to form a holiday greater than two days through a patchwork method, giving people time to travel, stimulating the tourism economy and stimulating consumption.
According to the data of traditional economics, the contribution of labor input to economic growth is 40%, and the extra day off per week brings about 5.7% economic loss.
Each small holiday can indeed bring a certain economic increase, just past the Qingming holiday, only three days of domestic tourists travel expenses reached 53.95 billion yuan.
But in fact, netizens can always use the simplest words to tell the deepest truth.
A netizen said that the compensatory holiday is like letting you eat nine meals after three days of not eating.
Hungry is really hungry, but I really can't eat.
While the economy has grown by 30%, the anxiety and pessimism of the population have also increased by 5%.
Do we really have a lot of holidays?
Taking 2024 as an example, we have seven statutory holidays, 1 day on New Year's Day, 8 days for Spring Festival, 3 days for Qingming Festival, 5 days for May Day, 3 days for Dragon Boat Festival, 3 days for Mid-Autumn Festival, and 7 days for National Day.
This adds up to a total of 30 days of vacation.
But after excluding the occupied weekends, the real holiday is only 11 days.
Globally, the country with the most holidays is Iran, with a whopping 53 days.
This is followed by San Marino, with a holiday of 46 days.
In addition to this, there are a total of 23 countries in the world that have more than 30 days of paid vacation per year.
For example, Russia has 42 days of paid holidays, France and Spain have 36 days, Germany has 29 days, and the United Kingdom has 28 days.
There are also 26 days of holidays in Japan, the king of Asian rolls.
In comparison, our vacations are not very affluent.
How long will the make-up last?
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our annual festival and anniversary holiday measures have been revised three times.
Promulgated by the Government Council on December 23, 1949
On September 18, 1999, the Decision of the State Council on Amending the Measures for Holidays on National Festivals and Memorial Days was amended for the first time
On December 14, 2007, the Decision of the State Council on Amending the Measures for Holidays on National Festivals and Memorial Days was amended for the second time
On December 11, 2013, the Decision of the State Council on Amending the Measures for National Festivals and Memorial Days was amended for the third time)
As for when the next revision will be made, it may be judged according to our overall economic level and development situation.
Write at the end
The annual holiday is a hot topic for everyone, and the holiday disrupts everyone's normal rhythm of life.
To a certain extent, it also gives some people a chance to rest and breathe.
In fact, the reasonable arrangement of the leave system and the implementation of flexible leave can not only reduce the pressure on people's lives, but also play a role in boosting the economy like the compensatory holiday.
At the same time, the most practical thing is that if we really implement flexible vacation, we will no longer have to worry about not grabbing tickets for the holidays.
