Download or read book The Market In Babies written by Marian Quartly and published by Monash University Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Market in Babies: Stories of Australian Adoption tells the history of adoption in Australia from its beginnings in the nineteenth century to its decline at the beginning of the twenty-first. The authors find that a market in babies has long existed. In the early years supply outstripped demand: needy babies were hard to place. Mid-twentieth century supply and demand grew together, with adoption presented as the perfect solution to two social problems: infertility and illegitimacy. Supply declined in the 1970s and demand turned to new global markets. Now these markets are closing, but technology provides new opportunities and Australians are acquiring babies through the surrogacy markets of India and the United States. As the rate of adoptions in Australia falls to an historic low, and parliaments across the country are apologising to parents and adoptees for the pain caused by past practices, this book identifies an historical continuum between the past and the present, and challenges the view that the best interests of the child can ever be protected in an environment where the market in babies is allowed to flourish. The authors of The Market in Babies are long-established scholars expert in the history of the family, welfare history and the making of public policy in Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book has three parts: (1) an overview; (2) myths and realities about children as a market (chapters 1-8); and (3) myths and realities about children's responses to marketing behavoiur (chapters 9-21). The first eight chapters describe myths and their realities regarding children as a market segment. I demonstrate the enormous market potential children hold todday is far beyond the penny-candy potential once attributed to them. I characterize children as not one but three markets - a current market spennding their own money on their own wants and needs; an influence market spending mom's and dad's money on their own wants and needs; and a future market for all goods and services. In the third part of the book - chapters 9 through 21 - I detail children's reactions to marketing, specifically, their responses to stores, products, including social products, brands, advertising, promotion, public relations, and packaging." -Preface.

Download or read book The Stork Market written by Mirah Riben and published by THE STORK MARKET. This book was released on 2006 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth examination of the corruption in the adoption industry; the fine line between black and gray market adoption; scams, coercion and exploitation; international adoption; foster care. Foreword by Evelyn Robinson, author, MA, Dip Ed, BSW. Myths that prevail in adoption primarily to replicate motherhood are examined. Myriad of adoption experts are interviewed and quoted throughout who agree that adoption has changed from being child-centered and altruistic social arrangement to one of finding solutions for the medical problem of infertility, putting the needs of adults, and those who profit from their desperation, before the needs of children who need homes. The conclusion asks if adoption can be fixed - the money aspect removed and government controls and regulations put in place - or abolished in favor of permanent guardianship, or informal adoption that does not involve the issuance of a falsified birth certificate present in current adoption to fortify myths of replicating creation. 284 pages 300 footnotes and indexed.
Download or read book The Labour Market Ate My Babies written by Barbara Pocock and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listed in top 50 Management Books for 2006 in the Australian Financial Review BOSS magazine, January 2007, Volume 8.In The Labour Market Ate My Babies Barbara Pocock, acclaimed author of The Work/Life Collision, examines the impact of modern working life on our children. In this book, young Australians from all over the country, city and the bush, rich and poor, talk about the good and bad of parental work - the trade off between money and time, consumer riches versus time for each other. Pocock argues that the modern labour market is having a huge impact on today's youth and eating into our capacity to care. Children have become a 'market'. Caring for kids and selling to kids is big business, as stressed, time-poor parents struggle to care for their children and salve their guilt with presents and pocket money. How will this future generation of workers weigh up the labour market and organise their lives? The Labour Market Ate My Babies argues that a sustainable future requires new policy approaches to work that incorporate the perspectives of children. We should:ensure that parents get the time they need away from work when they need it help parents get a good fit between how they want to work, and how they have to provide quality, low cost, public childcare options stop advertising to kids in ways that stimulate an early work/spend cycle.It's good to get money coming in and probably it's good to work as hard as you can when you're younger so when you're older you can retire with some money. But there should probably be a limit to how much before your relationships with other people start to strain because you are never there (Adam, 16)
Download or read book The Traffic in Babies written by Karen A. Balcom and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1930 and the mid-1970s, several thousand Canadian-born children were adopted by families in the United States. At times, adopting across the border was a strategy used to deliberately avoid professional oversight and take advantage of varying levels of regulation across states and provinces. The Traffic in Babies traces the efforts of Canadian and American child welfare leaders—with intermittent support from immigration officials, politicians, police, and criminal prosecutors—to build bridges between disconnected jurisdictions and control the flow of babies across the Canada-U.S. border. Karen A. Balcom details the dramatic and sometimes tragic history of cross-border adoptions—from the Ideal Maternity Home case and the Alberta Babies-for-Export scandal to trans-racial adoptions of Aboriginal children. Exploring how and why babies were moved across borders, The Traffic in Babies is a fascinating look at how social workers and other policy makers tried to find the birth mothers, adopted children, and adoptive parents who disappeared into the spaces between child welfare and immigration laws in Canada and the United States.
