Abstract

With rapid social development and economic progress, a myriad of social issues have occurred in China and Japan in recent years, including never-married employees above the average age, late marriage, and late childbirth. The young people’s marital status has attracted widespread concern. It thus created distinctive yet similar products of the era—blind dates and konkatsu. This paper studied the new blind dates in China and konkatsu in Japan in the contemporary era. It first compared blind dates and konkatsu from three perspectives, including social background, patterns of manifestations, and social impact. Based on such findings, it analyzed the motivations for blind dates and konkatsu, as well as the marriage views of Chinese and Japanese youths reflected by such mate-selection standards.
