For example, the May Day holiday just past, many netizens complained that the May Day holiday was not a real holiday, but a holiday made up from a holiday. The May Day holiday has really become the glory of May Day labor.

adjust statutory holidays to boost consumption;
Statutory holidays, also known as public holidays and statutory holidays, refer to the rest time for celebrations and vacations uniformly stipulated by national laws in accordance with the national conditions of the mainland and the customs and habits of various ethnic groups or commemorative requirements. The statutory holiday system is an important reflection of the country's political, economic and cultural systems, involving many aspects of the economy and society, and involving the vital interests of the broad masses of the people.
In addition to relaxing and resting on statutory holidays, the public can also stimulate people to go out to consume, which has produced a systematic economic model in which people use holidays to concentrate on shopping and consumption, and drive supply, market and economic development. Every year, the small long holiday has made China's holiday economy bloom more, cultural tourism, consumption, transportation, hotels, and catering fever have all demonstrated the vitality of China's economy again and again, and every holiday from the north to the south, from the east to the west, all over the country through policies and activities "two-wheel drive", advance arrangement, innovation, not only drive the holiday consumption to continue to heat up, but also strongly support the coordinated development of related industries.
The holiday economy is a window into the mainland economy. From the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday in 2023, the Spring Festival in 2024, and the May Day holiday just past, in the thriving consumer market, we deeply feel that China's economy continues to recover and the overall recovery is improving. The role of the holiday economy in stimulating economic growth and increasing jobs is obvious. For this reason, there is a kind of voice of "adjusting the time of public holidays, adjusting working hours, and experimenting with a four-day work system, releasing workload, increasing jobs, and stimulating economic growth".
Adjusting the timing of public holidays has made the economy more resilient
If the statutory holiday time is adjusted to: New Year, 1 day off, Spring Festival, 6 days off, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival 1 day off, Labor Day, 5 days off, National Day, 7 days off, so that there are a total of 22 days of public holidays, 3 long holidays, 3 small holidays, and these holidays cover the spring and summer seasons, autumn and winter seasons, And in the deep winter season, each big holiday has left enough time for the people to save money and fully prepare for their thoughts, so that before the arrival of each long holiday, the public can do a good job of planning for sufficient holiday travel consumption, because it is a statutory long holiday rather than a patchwork long holiday, the holiday stimulates consumption and stimulates the economy The effect is the best, and every long holiday is a point in time when the consumption capacity is strong. The resilience of the economy will also be further strengthened.
Adjust working hours and try to implement a four-day work week
Originally, the so-called "four-day workweek" did not mean working only four days a week, but one day a week allowed employees to do things outside of their job responsibilities. Later, some worked 10 hours a day, only 4 days a week, and only 8 hours a day, 4 days a week, and other four-day work models such as shift system were adopted to release workload, and some government agencies and private enterprises in Europe and the United States have begun to vigorously try to implement the 4-day work week.
Only work 4 days a week, the public enjoy one more day of rest, you can release the workload he has to bear, enterprises in order to ensure that the workload is met under the requirements, you can increase jobs, at the same time the public can go out to consume when he rests, consumption stimulates economic growth, I have to say that the adjustment of working hours to try out the four-day work week, not only can increase jobs, ease employment pressure, but also stimulate consumption, stimulate economic growth, is a good way to stimulate economic growth in the slow period.
Shanghai Pioneer: In 2008, when China was affected by the financial crisis, some enterprises in the Shanghai Industrial Comprehensive Development Zone introduced a four-day work system for the first time to protect employees by shortening working hours. Fengxian District has also issued a series of policies to encourage enterprises to adopt measures such as flexible working hours, job rotation, and on-the-job training to maintain a stable employment situation and ensure that employees are not laid off when the economic environment is bad.
Netizen Xiao Chen expects to implement the "four-day work system", hoping that under the new work system, he can truly realize his wish to take two days off a week, "My work intensity is very high, and I can really rest for only one day a week, and I have to turn on my mobile phone 24 hours a day, and I can be on call at any time." If I can implement a 'four-day work week', maybe I can enjoy an extra day off and truly achieve two days off." ”
Experts and scholars' opinions: high energy consumption. China's total GDP accounts for 15% of the world's, but its energy consumption accounts for 20~30% of the world's. To make matters worse, high energy consumption leads to high pollution. Jobless rate. On the surface, China's unemployment rate in the early 21st century is not high. However, the Chinese do not have much arable land per capita, and there are a large number of surplus young and middle-aged laborers in the rural areas. The four-day workweek will provide more jobs. In addition, the development of the tertiary industry is unbalanced and the industrial structure is unreasonable. In developed countries, the proportion of the tertiary industry in the gross national product reaches 65~70%, in order to achieve a good social structure. However, the proportion of tertiary production in the mainland is still very low. These problems could be alleviated if a four-day workweek was introduced. It can solve the problems of high energy consumption and high pollution caused by repeated construction and oversupply of commodities.
Enterprise Implementation Case: On October 20, 2023, Nike Greater China issued an internal letter announcing the launch of a new hybrid work model. Under the new model, you will work four days a week in the company from Monday to Thursday. The new working model will be officially implemented on January 8, 2024, and the scope is limited to office employees.
To this end, in order to develop the holiday economy, if the legislation stipulates that there are 22 days of public holidays throughout the year, 4 days a week and 3 days off, which can not only solve the contradiction of holidays, solve social problems such as lack of jobs and employment, high energy consumption, and duplicate economic construction, but also protect people's livelihood, stabilize employment and stimulate economic growth, will you support it?
