Former Economy Minister Vladimir Lanovoy supports the idea of ??the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory regarding the cancellation of the transfer of holiday weekends to everyday life.

"So many days off - bad. People relax, ties are not realized, in particular the idea that after a holiday weekend there should be another day off, has no economic justification. It breaks the cycle. This is already a vacation, which can be equated to summer or winter rest, "- said the ex-minister.

According to the expert, the optimal cycle of labor activity is "5 + 2".

"Five days of workers, two - days off. Man manages to rest, and the productivity of his labor increases. However, to calculate how much the state will lose from an additional weekend, mathematically it is impossible. The market itself regulates itself, "Lanovoy explained..

The expert is convinced that if all 365 days were workers, the standard of living of people would not grow, like salaries.
