Freeter(フリーターfurītā) (other spellings below) is a Japanese expression for people between the age of 15 and 34 who lack full time employment or are unemployed, excluding homemakers and students. They may also be described as underemployed or freelance workers. These people do not start a career after high school or university but instead usually live as so-called parasite singles with their parents and earn some money with low skilled and low paid jobs. The low income makes it difficult for freeters to start a family, and the lack of qualifications makes it difficult to start a career at a later point in life.

  • Freeter(フリーターfurītā) (other spellings below) is a Japanese expression for people between the age of 15 and 34 who lack full time employment or are unemployed, excluding homemakers and students.

The low income makes it difficult for freeters to start a family, and the lack of qualifications makes it difficult to start a career at a later point in life. The word freeter or freeta was first used around 1987 or 1988 and is thought to be an amalgamation of the English word free (or perhaps freelance) and the German word Arbeiter ("worker"). Another possibility is a shortening of freeloader, furee-ro-da to furi-da. (The German word Arbeit is commonly used as the Japanese loanword arubaito for part-time job.) It is said that the use was coined by the Japanese part time job magazine From A (Japanese: フロムエー, Furomuē). Other possible spellings are furītā, furiita, freeta, furiitaa, or furitaa in order of frequency[citation needed].
