Excuse my right wing "lack of compassion" but, I find the notion of a state ordained "guaranteed vacation" blatantly absurd -- and the economic realities of such a scheme appear to side with me.
Forcing productive forces to pay for extended periods of un-productivity is just plain stupid; the resulting economic stagnation is certainly no surprise.
I've got a better idea, how about following the example of the perpetually successful economies of Australia and the U.S. and leave micro-issues like vacation time to the actual employees and employers who are affected by such agreements. Some people are willing to trade leisure time for income, and visa-versa. Surely the diverse elements and views within a society can handle such decisions without the "aid" of some pathetic bureaucrat.
Built-in state sponsored pampering always results in the same thing; a society of children, captives of their own lack of dynamic vitality.
