Some people may have the impression that it is possible for Japanese workers to take long vacations. However, when most Japanese people think of summer vacation, the longest period of time they can imagine is one week. Furthermore, the majority of workers take one week during the extended national holidays known as “Golden Week” in the spring, and another week over the New Year holidays, an old tradition. In other words, Japanese vacations consist of three breaks of one week each per year. As an economist, I have long been interested in this problem, and am fairly surprised that this phenomenon has received little attention. Specifically, despite the fact that Japanese workers have little time off, as described above, they do not even take all the days of paid annual leave guaranteed them under the law. Based on several studies of annual paid leave, this paper introduces the current situation surrounding Japanese vacations, the background to the current status and some suggestions for the future.
