RECORD numbers of workers are planning a career break. The latest research says that many people want to leave their job and travel the world. In the past, a gap year was for students or rich people. Now more and more ordinary workers are taking a break from their job. Almost one in five British workers -around five and a half million - are planning to take a break from their careers. In the past five years, three million employees have taken a break. The research shows that more than half the people who are taking a career break want to travel and see the world. A third are looking for a break from office life.
Gap Year for Grown Ups is a company that provides career break projects for people over thirty. Even people in their fifties and sixties are taking career breaks.

Africa is the most popular destination, and South America is becoming more and more popular for people who want to do voluntary work as well as travel and go sightseeing.
British workers like companies that offer career breaks to their staff. One in four employees works for a company where career breaks are a staff perk. The government and finance and insurance industries are leading the way - 40 per cent of their employees can take a career break. They are followed by IT and telecoms staff (36 per cent) and medicine / the health service (25 per cent). The research shows that career breaks also help employers: companies that offer career breaks are able to recruit and keep good staff.
