The purpose of this study is to identify factors influencing dating and marriage intention among unmarried people. In general, marriage goes through the process of choosing a spouse, and marriage intention precedes the transition to marriage. Based on these characteristics of marriage and the phenomenon of giving up not only marriage but also dating among young population, this study analyzed factors affecting dating and marriage intention in order to understand the characteristics of family formation among the unmarried people. Findings show that the most influencing factors of the probability of dating and marriage intention were economic factors. In previous studies, it was emphasized that dating was mainly influenced by the economic factors of males. In this study, however, economic factors were very influential factors on probability of dating for both females and males. It shows that economic factors that affect dating are becoming important not only for men but also for women. In addition, if dating is viewed as a process of choosing a spouse and as an important process that affects marriage, we might think that the mechanism of marriage will change. In the results of the analysis of marriage intention, the role of the economic factors of men is still important, but in connection with the analysis of dating, there is a chance that the roles of economic factors among females will also appear important in marriage in the future. Furthermore, in a result of analyzing the hoped income expected from the future marriage partner as an indirect indicator of the expectation on him/her, it was found that the higher the expectation, the lower the intention to marry.
