“The Commercialization of Childhood” report

"The Commercialization of Childhood" report discusses how companies target children with marketing, turning toys, clothes, and media into tools to influence their preferences and behaviors. This creates a marketplace where children's needs and desires are shaped by advertising, often blurring the lines between education and commercial interests. The report highlights concerns about how this commercialization can impact children's development, values, and well-being, emphasizing the need for awareness and regulation to ensure that children are protected from excessive commercial influence and retain the ability to develop freely.
