City-dwellers, journalists and advertising executives have
risen among the world's most vacation-deprived workers in another worldwide
overview.
In Expedia's 2017 Vacation Deprivation report, researchers recognized
a couple of global patterns from the reactions of 30,000 working adults living
in 30 countries with regards to work-life balance. And it creates the
impression that on a global scale, individuals who work in marketing and media
feel the most vacation-deprived (66 percent).
Typically, the results also demonstrated that people who
live in rat race societies (big cities) have a harder time adjusting work and
play compared to their counterparts who live in suburbs and provincial areas.
According to the survey, the best three most deprived urban
zones on the world are Seoul, Mumbai and Paris. The last is an intriguing
discovering given that France enjoys one of thehighest numbers of vacation and
public holidays on the planet.
French workers are entitled to a minimum 25 days of paid
vacation a year.
In the United States, patterns uncovered that the most
vacation deprived industries are real estate, followed by food and beverage,
and health.
Provincially, Americans working on the West Coast also feel more
deprived than some other province in the U.S.

Generally speaking, feelings of lack of sleep rose around
the world this year, up 53 percent from 49 percent in 2016.
Indeed, about half (48 percent) of respondents around the
globe said they've needed to cancel or postpone a vacation because of work.
The report also uncovered some intriguing social differences
with regards to the discussion around mental health in the workplace: Western
cultures, led by Norway (90 percent), the U.S., Canada,
Australia and New Zealand (all 77 percent), believe that
mental health days should be considered sick leave, versus vacation time.
But in Asia, respondents feel the inverse, with 80 percent
of Taiwanese laborers, for example, seeing mental health days as vacation time.
“The emphasis on mental health in the US and other parts of
the world will hopefully encourage more people to view time off as a right, not
a luxury, and enjoy the positive effects of vacation,”.
