Understanding country holiday counts
What does the public holiday count include?
Each total is the number of distinct nationwide public holiday dates in the source dataset. Regional holidays are excluded.
Does the count equal paid days off?
No. Paid leave, employee eligibility, substitute days and government-office closures depend on local law and employment rules.
Why can totals differ between websites?
Other comparisons may include regional dates, observances, bank closures or every day in a multi-day break. This table uses one nationwide-date method for all covered places.
