Arubaito
アルバイト
あるばいと
The Japanese term arubaito comes from the German arbeit and refers primarily to part-time work undertaken in their free time by high school and college students. According to a survey* by the Japan Youth Research Institute, nearly half of all Japanese high school students have worked at arubaito at one time or another. Common arubaito undertaken during long-term vacations include: dishwasher at fast food shops and restaurants; waiter or waitress; convenience store or supermarket clerk; and gas station attendant.
High school students earn anywhere between 600 and 1,000 yen per hour. Many schools prohibit arubaito, but not a few will make exceptions such as for students who file an application giving their reasons for working and for work during long-term vacations.
