Currently, the draft resolution is at the stage of public discussion. Many social media users expressed dissatisfaction, noting that they had planned their affairs in advance, taking into account the existing labor legislation.
Some residents of the country believe that long holidays, such as the New Year and May holidays, are unjustified, as they disrupt the usual work rhythm and disrupt schedules and plans. Others, on the contrary, argue that additional days off are necessary to strengthen family ties, not for work. Some propose the option of working on an individual schedule, without days off and holidays. Nevertheless, many Kyrgyzstanis depend on the work of government institutions. At the same time, part of the population supports the Ministry of Labor's initiative, hoping for the opportunity to spend time with family and rest at the beginning of the new year.

Do you think Kyrgyzstan needs 11 days off in January?
Yes, it will help recover from the difficult year of 2025
Yes, it’s a great opportunity to spend time with family and visit regions
It can be reduced to a smaller number – 11 days is too much
No, such long holidays negatively affect the economy and slow down work processes
No, it’s better to distribute the days off more evenly throughout the year
I don’t care — the main thing is that transport, hospitals, and services operate steadily
