This is so bad.

  1. It's not a map.

  2. Why is there no label on the vertical axis. Are we talking days, seperate vacation periods (of different length) or percentage of days in a year? ~~Oh there's weeks in the title. Still a bad graph.~~

  3. What does School_Vacations and Work_Vacations actually mean?

Hmmm, I'm gonna doubt this data. In spain, the norm is getting around 30 days of holidays when working and that's considering that weekends count toward those 30 days even if you don't work.

I am also gonna doubt this data as the Netherlands has 6 weeks of summer vacation alone. I think we also do 12 weeks school and about 28 days a year fulltime for work.

yeh, UK school kids get 6 weeks holiday in the summer alone.

Germany is wrong, too.

Sorry but the UK position is definitely wrong. Our kids get 6 weeks off just in summer, plus 2 each at Xmas and Easter, plus 3 x 1 week during half-terms. It is a challenge to cover these when working full time where the average holiday allowance is 5.6 weeks in total.

Nice idea but very poor execution

UK schools have way more than 6 weeks per year. Summer holiday is 5-6 weeks alone
