Parasite single is a Japanese term for a single person who lives with their parents until their late twenties or early thirties in order to enjoy a carefree and comfortable life.
By some estimates, there were 10 million parasite singles in Japan in 1995. According to a 1998 survey by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, about 60% of single men and 80% of single women between the ages of 20 and 34 live with their parents. These numbers have been steadily increasing since 1976.
While some adult children help with the household chores or pay a share of the rent, the vast majority do not. According to some statistics, about 85% of the children do not help with shared living expenses, but instead receive free housekeeping, laundry services, and meals from their parents.
This situation allows the children to live in considerable comfort, and while many save money, others spend all their income on luxury items, traveling, and other non-essential expenses. Many children wish to live with their parents until they marry.
The parents, for their part, often enjoy living with their children. Many parents want to protect their children and offer them the best possible start in life. Parents also enjoy the company and the social interaction and try to maintain the relationship.
A parasite single who chose to live independently would on average lose 2/3 of his or her disposable income. Furthermore, they would also have to do the cleaning and cooking for themselves. Finally, establishing a household has a large up front cost for durable items as for example a refrigerator, furniture, washing machine, and other items. As the vast majority of the Japanese population is concentrated in cities, all the employment and entertainment options desired are within reach from the parental home.
While in 1970 women married on average at age 24 and men at age 27, this has increased to 27.4 years for women and 29 years for men in 2002. This has also resulted in women having children later in life, and fewer children overall due to the decline in fertility after age 30.
However, many people also feel that the young adults have no option but to become parasite singles in the current difficult economic situation, having to choose between career and family.

Koji su uzroci ove sve ucestalije, savremene pojave nesamostalnosti mladih ljudi i single zivot u domu sa roditeljima cak i do kasnih tridesetih ne samo u Japanu nego i u Americi, Evropi, pa i u Srbiji? Sta je neophodno da se promeni ili dogodi da bi se ova pojava smanjila na minimum?
Da li su za sve ti mladi ljudi krivi ili ima nesto i u savremenom drustvu i psiholoskom sklopu savremenih porodica koji njihov zivot psiholoski i ekonomski svode na parasite single?
Mozda bi medju njima bilo i pojedinih velikih talenata koji su unisteni tim ogranicenjima...
