Abstract [en]

Children’s influence on the processes of family purchase decisions depends on number of parameters and situations. Children exercise various methods to influence their parent’s decision-making on buying. This influence varies from one product to another. It depends on parents’ education, their profession, income, whether the parent is single and working or if both parents are working and also family type, and types of product. Children and youth consumers’ behaviour are not the same all over the world; rather, it is dependent on culture, education, family system, children’s influences, media effects, socialisation, communication in socialisation, sex role orientation (SRO), demographics, decision process stages and influence of product category, among others. Even in the Nordic countries, there are different attitudes towards and opinions about regulation and deregulation. This research considers children in the age group of 8–13-years-old and their parents in India and western countries. The deductive approach was used in this study. The aim of this paper is to show how children influence purchase decisions in families in India and western countries. Hence, the aim of this paper is not only to explore the dimensions in India and western countries but also to identify directions for future research.
