“…This fi nding was different from the results found in analyzing Wave 2 data that adolescents from families receiving fi nancial assistance had a slightly higher chance of getting involved in CD (Lee & Shek, 2013 ).

“…In Japanese, "enjo-kosai" is literally translated as "a relationship with (mainly fi nancial) support" (Ueno, 2003 ) and can be traced back to Japanese vocabulary used by the male-centered mass media in the 1970s.

Quality of Life in Asia

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This series, the fi rst of its kind, will examine both the objective and subjective dimensions of life quality in Asia, especially East Asia. It will unravel and compare the contours, dynamics and patterns of building nations, offering innovative works that discuss basic and applied research, emphasizing interand multi-disciplinary approaches to the various domains of life quality. Thus, the series will appeal to a variety of fi elds in humanities, social sciences and other professional disciplines. Asia is the largest, most populous continent on Earth, and it is home to the world's most dynamic region, East Asia. In the past three decades, East Asia has been the most successful region in the world in expanding its economies and integrating them into the global economy, offering lessons on how poor countries, even with limited natural resources, can achieve rapid economic development. Yet while scholars and policymakers have focused on why East Asia has prospered, little has been written on how its economic expansion has affected the quality of life of its citizens. The series will publish several volumes a year, either single or multiple-authored monographs or collections of essays.More information about this series at

“…For instance, a well-known example of a 'commodified relationship' is the Japanese 'Enjo Kosai.' The phenomenon is translated as ''assisted dating '' (McCoy 2004) and describes teenage girls offering intimate services to middle-aged men (Ueno 2003) for a material compensation. Most often, the form of exchange is a monetary payment, so properly speaking, Enjo Kosai is a form of prostitution.…”

Gift-for-sex (GFS) barters are a niche practice potentially representing the commodification of everyday dating practices. We inquire how GFS exchanges are practiced and understood in contemporary Russia. Second, we situate these in relation to contemporary economic culture. Our project provides answers in two steps based on online content. First, we identify GFS exchange practices within a major dating website. Next, we take the signals exchanged in those dating profiles and display their intersubjective meanings in Russia based on blogs and discussion fora. Our analysis focuses on gender roles and inter-gender conflicts, the use of economic jargon, the link between luxury consumption and sexuality, and understandings of gift-giving and generosity, in order to show how GFS barters, despite being contractual, carry emotional and romantic content. As such, love is under a constant conversion process, through the medium of the contractual gift, into the fictitious commodity form.

“…Свидания за вознаграждение (compensated dating) -это практики обмена, при которых физическая близость предоставляется за материальное вознаграждение. Более точно это явление описывается японским термином «Enjo Kosai», подразумевающим чаще всего сексуальные отношения школьниц с мужчинами более старшего возраста, за что школьницы получают от партнёра подарки или денежное вознаграждение [Ueno 2003]. Нам необходимо выяснить, насколько распространённы свидания за вознаграждения в пост- Из личных интервью и анализа онлайн-контента видно, что свидания за вознаграждения встречаются и в России.…”
