India has more number of public holidays in the world

Posted on: 16/Jan/2015 11:05:47 AM
Normally the growing countries in the world will have lesser number of holidays. On the contrary, India which is supposed to be one of the growing countries has more public holidays. There are 21 days and there could be more if we take the state wise statistics. 
 
In the Asia-Pacific territory, the Philippines has the second-most public holidays with 18, followed by China and Hong Kong (17), Thailand (16), Malaysia and Vietnam (15), Indonesia (14), Taiwan and South Korea (12), Singapore (11) and Australia and New Zealand (10).
 
Europeans don’t fare too badly, with Sweden and Lithuania offering the most at 15, followed by Slovakia (14), Austria, Belgium and Norway (13), Finland and Russia (12). Spain and the United Kingdom are not so holiday minded, with only eight holidays.
 
Mexico has the lowest in the world with only seven public holidays each year, although the government permits a few more "optional" public holidays, at the employer’s discretion.
