Precariat
In sociology, precariat refers to people with no job security, or no prospect of employment. The term is a neologism obtained by merging precarious with proletariat. [1]
The precariat class has been emerging in advanced societies such as Japan, where it includes over 20 million people.[2] The young precariat class in Europe became a serious issue in the early part of the 21st century.[3]
