Yes, there are several synonyms and related terms for 啃老族 (kěn lǎo zú), which refers to young adults who rely on their parents for financial support while not engaging in education, employment, or training.
1. 无业游民 (wú yè yóu mín) - This translates to "unemployed drifter" and describes individuals who are not engaged in any work or profession. While it doesn't specifically imply parental support, it shares similarities with the concept of NEET.
2. 宅男/宅女 (zhái nán / zhái nǚ) - These terms mean "otaku" or "homebody" and refer to young people who spend significant time at home, often engaging in hobbies like gaming or watching anime. While not directly synonymous, some in this group may also be part of the 啃老族 (kěn lǎo zú).
3. 寄生虫 (jì shēng chóng) - Literally meaning "parasite," this term is sometimes used derogatorily to describe individuals who live off others, including parents. It highlights a lack of independence and can be used to describe the 啃老族 (kěn lǎo zú).
These terms illustrate different facets of the phenomenon of young adults who remain dependent on their parents, whether through intentional choice, lack of employment opportunities, or lifestyle preferences.

啃老族 (kěn lǎo zú) is used in everyday conversation to refer to young adults who are not in education, employment or training and still supported by their parents. It is often used in contrast to 上班族 (shàng bān zú), which refers to office workers.
