*
" Freeters are a relatively new phenomenon in Japan. The word **freeter was
used first around 1987 during the bubble economy, referring to young people
who deliberately chose not to work despite a large number of jobs available
at that time. During this time, freeters were also somewhat glamorized as
people pursuing their dreams and trying to live life to the fullest. "

" The Japan Institute of Labor classifies freeter into three groups,
the **moratorium
type that wants to wait before starting a career, the **dream pursuing type,
and the **no alternative type. The **moratorium and **dream pursuing type of
freeter deliberately chooses not to join the rat
race<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_race>in the usually strict and
conservative companies (see: Culture
of Japan <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Japan>) but instead wants
to take a time-out to enjoy life or have specific dreams incompatible with a
standard Japanese career. "*
