Global survey reveals the most vacation-deprived

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,”.
