US is the only country with no legally mandated paid days off
Most countries provide between 20 and 40 paid days off
Not-Ship's Amanda Shendruk takes a summer break and reflects on paid time off. The newsletter highlights data showing that 93% of countries provide between 20 and 40 paid days off annually, with the world average at 30. The US stands out as the only country with zero statutory paid holidays, while Yemen and Libya top the list with 46 and 45 days, respectively. She also shares updates on her reading list and other links.
