[Good morning economy] "Temporary holiday, 31st is effective"...the writing of the head of the district that drew sympathy

Jung Won-oh, the head of Seongdong-gu District Office in Seoul, expressed his opinion that "the 31st is more effective" when the party and the government decided to designate the 27th, the Monday just before the Lunar New Year holiday, as a temporary holiday.

Chung, the head of the district office, said on his SNS on the 8th, "It is very regrettable that the process of designating temporary holidays has suddenly progressed, which will inevitably cause work disruptions to various industries and their workers, and I think there will be mixed interpretations on the background of designating temporary holidays."

At the same time, he said, "We need to carefully designate the date," adding, "I think it is more effective to designate the 31st as a temporary holiday than the 27th announced by the government."

"The possibility of taking a break by the weekend after the holiday schedule and eating out or going out for a short time will increase, so it will be more in line with the government's intention to boost domestic consumption by promoting consumption," he said.

"For many married women, it should be considered that the designation of temporary holidays on the 27th could lead to a heavier burden of housework on the holiday, and that the burden on office workers who have to make various payments and deadlines on the 31st could also increase," he added.

Chung, the head of the district office, emphasized, "If more people want to designate a temporary holiday to recover their tiredness at the end of the holiday and fully enjoy the time to recharge their daily lives, it will be 31 days rather than 27 days."
