Freeter/ Furita: Part-Time Workers in Japan Japanese high school and college graduates between the ages of 15 to 34 are increasingly choosing short-term, part-time jobs instead of fixed, long-term careers.They are then confined to menial and poorly paid jobs, hampering their ability to integrate a more traditional career path or to start a family.

The population of freeters in Japan is estimated to be around 10 million in 2014, with the vast majority unable to secure employment after high school or college, through shkatsu.
