Spread a holiday? This is how the Germans think about it
In Denmark, a public holiday was deleted for defense spending. There are similar suggestions in this country. But the citizens keep little of it – except for a group.
The employer -related institute of the German economy has calculated it: the elimination of a holiday would increase the gross domestic product in Germany by up to 0.2 percent. That corresponds to 8.6 billion euros. Among other things, the economy had recently proposed Monika Schnitzer to delete a holiday. Last year Denmark abolished a statutory holiday to finance higher defense spending.
If you work, you don’t want to give up a holiday
The Germans, on the other hand, are to delete one of the holidays to increase economic performance. Like a Forsa survey on behalf of the star resulted, 65 percent reject the deletion of a holiday. 32 percent would find that right. Three percent do not comment.
There are differences in keeping on public holidays according to age and professional position. Employed people reject 70 percent. 51 percent are also self -employed. The majority of this are the pensioners with 52 percent. Among the parties’ supporters are only the majority of the CDU/CSU (51 percent) for reducing holidays. The rejection of the voters of the left (84 percent) and the AfD (79 percent) is strongest. But the supporters of the Greens (58 percent) and SPD (55 percent) also do not believe in the proposal.
In Germany, there are ten to twelve holidays-depending on the state-in Bavaria there are even up to 14th prime minister and CSU boss Markus Söder in individual regions.
