Vacations: Hungarians take more days off, more frequently, than a decade ago

Hungarian workers are planning to take an average of 13 days of vacation this summer, according to recent data. For employees with children, this period extends slightly to 14-15 days. However, the trend indicates a preference for splitting vacation time into multiple shorter breaks rather than taking one extended leave.

Despite the general trend towards taking time off, a notable portion of the workforce will not be taking a summer holiday. Ten out of four workers, approximately 15 percent, reported not planning any vacation this summer. Furthermore, 13 percent of respondents indicated that they work in positions that do not offer paid leave, highlighting disparities in employment benefits.

The survey suggests a shift in how people approach their time off, with a focus on shorter, more frequent breaks. This approach may allow for more flexibility and potentially more opportunities to disconnect throughout the year, rather than relying on a single long vacation.
