Supplementary Reading:

Career break is a period of time out from employment. Traditionally, this was for mothers to raise children, but it is now used for people taking time out of their career for personal or professional development.

A career break is usually between one month and two years long. Six months to 2 years is the most common period of time for a career break.

The career break has grown in popularity over the last five years, with 75% of the British workforce currently considering a career break. Around 90,000 professionals are estimated to take a career break every year. It is most common in the UK, where it grew out of the gap year concept. The career break is sometimes referred to as an 'adult gap year', which reflects the commitment towards developing skills and gaining experience while out of the workforce.
