Because 2002 is not a leap year, it has 365 days.

Let's remove 52 saturdays and 52 sundays. It remains 261 days.

Now, let's remove 8 public holidays that do not fall during a weekend and we obtain 253 working days in 2002.

Here is the list of these 8 public holidays:

1. Nieuwjaar : Tuesday, 1 January, 2002
2. Goede Vrijdag : Friday, 29 March, 2002

7. Eerste Kerstdag : Wednesday, 25 December, 2002
