Kids Commercials and Commercial Kids in the Asia Pacific: Whose Responsibility Is It Anyway?

This paper presents case study research from the Asia Pacific region (India and Australia), which tentatively extends American views on the issue of regulating child-oriented marketing and advertising, and identifies directions for future public policy research. Further research is needed to confirm (1) parental preferences for regulation of child-oriented marketing and advertising and (2) the influence of, and concern over, toy based television programming. For example, the first issue could be confirmed either cross-culturally, or in specific countries like India, where no such regulation exists today, while the second issue could be studied in Australia, where it may be a bigger concern.
