an adult, though no longer a student, who does not have full-
time employment and all the benefits that comes with it. Instead, a freeter chooses to work part-
time or hold down odd jobs, even while full
time employment is available.

job. Freeters usually do not earn enough money to have their own home, so they often stay at home with their parents indefinitely, or else rent rooms in others' homes.
