How Gen Z is shaping the future of work with 'micro-retirement'

Forget waiting until 60 to kick back and relax because the Gen Z is now rewriting the rulebook with micro-retirement. This trend is all about taking breaks during the hustle of your career, sometimes for months, to recharge, travel, or maybe dive into personal passions. It’s not just a long vacation but more like a shift in how work-life balance is seen, with mental health and experiences taking the lead.

What is micro-retirement?

Micro-retirement is exactly what it sounds like: stepping away from work for a planned, extended break during your prime years. Whether it’s exploring new hobbies, travelling the world, or simply resting, this pause is placed intentionally in the middle of a career and not at the end of it. Gen Z doesn’t want to wait for retirement to live fully rather it’s about making time for life now.
