...or maybe because they don't have enough job security to risk being out for a period even if they are entitled to the time.

I highly doubt...but it's a cultural thing.
A US joke says :"a vacation just means you work from somewhere else".
Let's see, nobody gets paid to take a day off in a concentration camp. What I mean- seriously now- whether people take vacations or not depends on the culture of the organization they work for. It's just common sense: generally vacations are a positive experience, especially regarding mental health.But for those who need a study...is it really necessary? it's typical for the "hard working" Germans to take off three consecutive weeks in August when most of the country kind of closes down.
Obviously, Vacations improve Mental Health

That's why you need paid vacations.

Contrary to what 0bama and crew are trying to make it (socialist), the USA is a capitalist society.
There are plenty of people getting paid vacation. I get 56 days off paid if you include sick days (12) and they never expire.
You don't get it and you're not happy? Go get a job which offers it.
Paid vacation is not one of the tenets of American society.
But there are leftwing countries that don't have paid vacation.
Sri Lanka and North Korea for example. Communist China is among the lowest, with 5 days. So... I would say that Capitalism goes with paid vacations and socialism doesn't.
Other countries without mandatory paid vacations include the three states that have a "Compact of Free association" with the USA in the pacific and ex-colony Liberia. I.e. the USA protectorates.

Well, most 3rd world countries have paid vacation, leftwing or not. The same as 1st world countries.

Seeing that are dictatorships I disagree.
Paid vacation (in any form) is mainly a leftists socialist thing .
And lets not forget the lines bewteen kapitalists and socialists have been blurring for decades. There are no more true of those anywhere in politics .
I dont see the issue actually, every company benefits from employees that feel good. This is just a tool to help employees with the home/work balance.
