Freeter 飛特族

Freeter 飛特族
說法源自於日本, 描述年輕人介於15-34歲, 無正職工作者, 不同於沒收入來源的尼特族, 只有兼差打工, 但收入不多, 收入太少無法組織家庭, 缺少文憑又難以讓事業開展
Freeter is an expression originally derived from Japan, that refers to people between the age of 15 and 34 who lack fulltime employment. Different from the NEETs(the abbreviation for Not currently engaged in Employment, Education or Training), who do not have a source of income, freeters do make their own living by taking part-time jobs. But the low income makes it difficult for freeters to start a family, and the lack of qualifications makes it difficult to start a better career at a later point in life.
