Nearly 1 million people in Bulgaria cannot afford even a week's vacation. The data are from an analysis by the European Trade Union Institute of the European Trade Union Confederation and were presented by CITUB.
They show that a total of 40 million or 15% of all workers in the EU cannot afford a week's holiday. Their number increased by nearly 2 million for a year. According to the data, in 2022, for over 957,000 working Bulgarians, having a one-week holiday was a mirage. Compared to the previous year, the increase was over 2%. The biggest rise was reported in France - 2.5% or nearly 1 million more workers forced to stay at home. Among the countries with the most workers who cannot afford a holiday are also Romania - one out of three, Cyprus and Greece - one out of four.
