Dating is considered in this study as one of the necessary steps one must take before getting married. This study analyses the status and the determinants of dating among Korean and Japanese young adults based on the fact that a decline in dating leads to a decline in marriage. The results show that the effect of economic self-reliance on dating is larger among Korean young adults than among their Japanese counterparts. Economic variables affect dating among Korean young men. Especially, young men living with their parents are found to be less likely to have a girlfriend. Economic variables are found to affect dating for Korean young women but not for Japanese young women. The results find that none of the economic variables observed in this study affect dating among Japanese young women, presumably because of the employment environment of Japanese women.
