Public Holidays and Their Effects on Livelihoods

Imagine wanting to withdraw money from your savings to buy stock for your business, only to find that the bank is closed because it is a public holiday. That delay can affect your business operations and income.

Imagine this happening to the entire economy, the results are devastating because at that moment the economy shuts down-everything comes to a standstill.

Public holidays are important, but they can also come with challenges for small businesses, workers, and everyday livelihoods.
