In reality, the Finnish average is more like 27-32 days.

After your second year of work at a company, you get 5 weeks vacation per year. The official number for this is 30 days, but that's counting Saturdays. Nobody works 6 days per week, so in reality this is 25 days.

On top of those 25 days, there are public holidays. On average 7 of them fall on weekdays per year.

This gives us a grand total of 32 days per year on average.
