Yes? Who is Freeter in GB, then? I've seen the first two dvd's.
A definition of "Freeter" (an excerpt from "Working Conditions and the Labor Market"):
People who are not employed as regular employees and make their living as non-regular employees have come to be known in Japan as “freeters.” The word “freeter” has been concocted by combining the English word “free” with the German word for worker, “arbeiter.” The term first came up in the late 1980s during the period of the bubble economy. Although the term is not precisely defined, the White Paper on Labour defines “freeter” as chiefly men and unmarried women aged between 15 and 34 who work on a part-time basis or in side jobs (arubaito) continuously for less than five years. This year's White Paper on Labour estimated that the number of “freeters” in 1997 totalled 1.51 million, roughly twice as many as in 1987. Another definition, however, also includes dispatched workers. By that definition, the number is estimated at 3.4 million.
Btw, if you haven't read Golden Boy manga, you don't know how "bad" it gets...
So H!
