In Japan in the past, the transition of young people from school to work was made fairly smoothly. Young Japanese made efforts, while they were still at school, to seek out the next organization they would belong to, such as a higher educational institution or a workplace, and successfully shifted to the next stage. Since the 1990s, however, corporate demand for new graduates has dropped, so that – also partly due to a change in the outlook of young people – an increasing number now weave to and fro among employment, unemployment, NEET (not in education, employment or training), and part - time employment. Studies so far suggest that such young people are classifiable into five patterns : those who seek momentary pleasure in their lives; those who have lost contact with society; those who do nothing, daunted by the difficulties; those who have lost confidence; and those who are waiting for a better chance. With ways of transition changing, it is the young part - time workers known as freeters that have attracted most social attention since the mid - 1990s. At that time, a considerable number of studies were made, according to which half of such workers actually worked as long hours as regular employees, and not a few of them, on reaching their late 20s, settled down in a particular workplace, though it was still part - time. Japan is still counted as one of the countries where the wage and other gaps between full - time workers, who work under indefinite -term labor contracts, and part - time workers are quite large, and there is a need to redress the treatment of freeters who work as much as regular employees. Another focal point drawing attention in recent years is young people who, in the course of vacillating, frequently choose neither to work nor study.
