Participants in the formulation of the two-day holiday policy talk about the contradiction of the holiday
Wu Xin, who has participated in the formulation of the two-day holiday policy, and was the academic member of the Research Center of the State Science and Technology Commission and the director of the Social Development Research Office, recently participated in the interview column and mentioned that the existing 11-day statutory public holiday period in the mainland has been equivalent to that of developed countries, and the key to the problem is not to increase the number of vacation days, but how to effectively implement the paid annual leave system.
Rather than increasing statutory holidays, more attention should be paid to how to ensure that workers fully enjoy the right to annual leave and double rest, so as to achieve a decentralized and balanced holiday arrangement. Compared with statutory holidays, annual leave can reflect more autonomy and flexibility, which is conducive to the stable and healthy development of the tourism and consumer market, reduces the overload pressure of holidays on the tourism industry, and also allows consumers to consume in a more comfortable environment and avoid falling into consumption traps and forced consumption.
