Employees in Western European countries have access to the greatest amount of paid vacations in the world, and workers in Asia Pacific have the least, according to a research by Mercer Management Consulting.
The data comes from Mercer's Worldwide Benefit and Employment Guidelines which provides an overview of employee regulation and employment practices across 62 different countries.
In the U.K., employees could be on vacation for 36 days with pay, or 10 percent of each year, the report said.
In contrast, China offers its employees only 11 days of paid vacation on average, according to the report.
China's business press carried the story above on Thursday.
