Which European countries have the most annual leave and which have the least?

Going on vacation is one of the best ways to reduce stress, boost your mood, and take time away from technology. But a new study has revealed that some Europeans suffer from "severe holiday deprivation". Travel booking site Expedia reports that up to 80% of young people in some European countries feel they don't take enough holidays. Here are the countries and generations that are most affected.

Expedia's 24th Vacation Deprivation Report found that Gen Zers globally are more vacation deprived than any other generation. While only 38% of young adults – people born between 1946 and 1964 – in the UK report feeling like they don't have enough time for holidays, 70% of Britain's youngest workers claim they are time-deprived enough rest. In France, this rises to 55% of boomers and 82% of Gen Zers.

In Germany, the younger working generation has on average half a day more vacation than the baby boomer generation, but left about four vacation days unused last year. By contrast, boomers only had 2.5 days left in their vacation account.

Germans are the most vacation-deprived in the world

The biggest year-on-year change in holiday absence sees Germans 14% more holiday-deprived than last year. This makes the Germans the most holiday deprived in the world at 84% followed by the French at 69%.

While boomers take more time off, more than half of Gen Z workers (53%) in the UK go six months or more between holidays. Only 7% allow themselves a break from work every month. For today's younger workforce, the biggest thing holding them back is FOMO – the fear of missing out.

While FOMO is not exclusive to any particular generation, it is more prevalent in Gen Z with one in two in the UK saying they fear missing something important at work when they are away, compared to just 16% of boomers.

About one in two Generation Z in Germany say they fear important decisions will be made at work or that colleagues will be prioritized when they are on vacation. Among German baby boomers, on the other hand, only 16% are affected by FOMO in their work life.

Another reason that makes it difficult for UK Gen Z to take time off is guilt. 52% feel guilty when colleagues cover their work when they are on a trip and 50% feel the need to apologize for taking annual leave. Not even a fifth of Boomers share the same concerns.

Similarly in Germany, 47% of Generation Z, but only 16% of those raising a child, say they feel bad because colleagues have to take over their duties while they are away. About three times as many Gen Z workers as those growing up feel they have to apologize for their vacation requests.

In France, 50% of young workers feel the need to apologize for taking time off compared to 14% of young workers. Young French workers do not take all their holiday leave. With an average of 27.4 days of paid vacation, Gen Z has the fewest days in France, while boomers take an average of 3.9 days more (31.3 days).

Gen Z took an average of 23.7 days off in 2023, leaving an average of 3.7 days unused. Boomers even had the luxury of taking 0.3 days more than their allotted number of days (31.6 days). While baby boomers take vacations more often, almost half of Gen Z workers wait six months or more between departures.

For Britons, 56% feel deprived on holiday according to Expedia's report, up 10% from five years ago. Almost one in five Britons went a full year without a holiday last year. British women feel more holiday-deprived than men (57% vs 54%) and the main reasons for not taking time off are that people are too busy (20%), saving time for unexpected breaks (20%) and saving money. for a big trip (18 %).

Almost 90% of Brits are in favor of moving to a 4-day week, mainly to have more personal time (40%) for things like meetings, managing the family and projects, with a quarter saying they would use it additionally. time to travel.
