Operational closure profile

What makes the Argentina calendar operationally different

The country page now reads the holiday list as a planning surface: density, month clusters, type mix, and bridge-day pressure. These signals are derived from the same retained holiday rows rather than generic country copy.

Calendar density

active public-holiday calendar

Argentina has 16 public holidays in the rolling 12-month window and 16 total retained holiday rows across all types.

Bridge-day pressure

10 public holidays fall on Monday or Friday, so long weekends are already built into the calendar rather than needing bridge days.

Month clustering

Public holidays cluster most strongly in February (2), March (2), May (2), June (2).

Dataset type mix

Dataset type mix is led by 16 public entries. This is separate from legal closure strength; always confirm local substitution and sector rules.

Bolivia	12	3	3	0	1	4	1	0
Brazil	13	0	3	1	1	5	1	2
Grenada	13	4	0	1	1	3	3	1

Religious vs civic vs cultural mix

Classification mix across the next 12 months: 5 religious, 8 civic, 1 cultural, 2 other (16 classified entries). The headline reading: a civic-leaning calendar (Argentina weights toward civic observances in the upcoming window).

Weekday rhythm

Public-holiday practice can vary by region, sector, and employer. Use official government or workplace calendars for legal closure decisions.

Holiday calendar method

How we calculate this: We load the current and next-year holiday rows for AR, intersect them with the next 365 days, classify each public-holiday row with a transparent keyword heuristic (religious / civic / cultural / other), and derive the weekday distribution, longest holiday-free stretch, and longest consecutive-holiday cluster (counting weekends adjacent to public-holiday dates).
Data sources: Holiday rows from the curated holiday catalog (src/data/holidays.json); country roster, ISO AR, and timezones from src/data/countries.json; DST observance from the IANA tzdata mirror in src/data/zones.json. Peer-country selection uses same-continent overlap on the holiday-slug set.
Update cadence: Page revalidates daily (revalidate = 86400) so the year-pattern card, next-holiday signal, and peer-comparison counts stay current.
