China’s one-child policy, introduced in 1979, has led to an unprecedented phenomenon: An urban child is now the sole benefactor of the attention, interest and earnings of two parents and four grandparents. This, combined with China’s mushrooming capitalist economy, has boosted children’s status, purchasing power and sway within Chinese households. Children now control far more currency than in the past. They influence family purchases and have pocket money to spend on indulgences. Kara Chan and James U. McNeal delve into this market, and illustrate how Chinese children perceive advertising by age, gender and location. Although the authors’ deep academic methodology, tables and quantitative analysis are not wholly relevant to the advertising business and many of their findings are not unique to China, getAbstract considers this unprecedented study a fascinating insight into the children’s market in China’s capitalist society.
