  It's only 25 days, or 4 weeks and 1 day. The payment part is just a percentage of what you earned the previous year. So the first year I start working after college I will not get paid during my holidays. Parenting leaves are very important since it is assumed that women should work and not stay home with the children. We also have subsidized kindergartens. Healthcare is fair. However we have pretty much no dental and you only get subsidized medication if you need medication for more than 3 months.

    25 days is the legal minimum. My employer gives 30 days paid vacation. Some companies also handle holiday pay slightly differently (while still complying with the law), so it's possible to get paid while you are on vacation - I did. You have to have a lot of money before the wealth tax hits you, and it's quite low anyway (if you have enough money that the wealth tax will hit you, you can earn more in interest having the money sitting in a bank account than you will be paying).
