UK law prohibits direct marketing of gambling to children. However, our data, gathered between 2018 and 2020, demonstrate that gambling logos occur frequently in football related products and media consumed by children. This is a pressing issue for policy makers because research suggests that although children engage with football as spectators, they engage more often through readily available material culture. Discussions in the media about sponsorship of football teams by gambling companies have focused on the exposure of children to advertisements during live broadcasts. Analysing visible gambling sponsorship in children's media, this paper shows how a single gambling logo on a player's shirt is refracted many times through collectable cards, football magazines, and the mediatized 'play' of a child fan's world. It concludes that discussions around gambling advertising and its impact on children should be informed by an awareness of how children, as opposed to adults, engage with football.

“…The literature also examines how social and cultural factors, such as religion, ethnicity, gender roles, family values, and peer pressure, affect birth rates. How these variables affect reproductive behaviour and outcomes has been studied [6]. For instance, some research has compared religious makeup and reproduction rates, finding that various religious groups frequently exhibit diverse fertility trends due to their practices, traditions, and beliefs.…”

This research aims to use a rigorous quantitative methodology in the form of regression analysis to explore the complex terrain of birth rate drivers in the United States. The primary data source for this study is the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS). It provides extensive and current data on natality and births in the United States from 2000 to 2020 and is processed by SPSS. After accounting for other characteristics, the study indicated that higher GDP per capita and higher urban population significantly negatively affect the birth rate in the United States. This study stresses the significance of considering the impact of money and urbanization on fertility behavior and preferences when designing interventions to help families and children.

“…There is a growing consensus in western societies that the amount of gambling advertising the population is regularly exposed to is excessive, and that measures should be taken in order to reduce it [8][9][10]. Recently, countries such as the UK, Spain, Norway, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, and Australia have passed laws that either restrict or outright ban multiple forms of gambling advertising [11].…”

Background There is a consensus in the literature that gambling advertising disproportionately affects those experiencing higher gambling severity. However, the relationship of gambling advertising and severity is typically assessed among samples recruited from online panels using screening tools as the method to categorize the gambling severity status of participants. Alternatively, other studies use small groups of gamblers (i.e., qualitative studies). The present paper reports findings from a sample of gamblers diagnosed with gambling disorder by professional clinicians via individual interviews. The study investigated the association between gambling advertising and gambling severity by looking at other psychologically relevant variables such as impulsivity, emotion regulation, and general psychopathology. Methods A sample of 210 consecutive treatment-seeking patients was recruited from a public hospital from June 2019 to January 2021. A path analysis model was run to determine the relationship between the variables. Gambling advertising was constructed as a latent variable, comprising the perceived impact of gambling advertising, persuasion knowledge, and the attitudes towards gambling advertising. Results Gamblers with greater gambling severity reported higher perceived impact of gambling advertising, and more positive attitudes toward gambling advertising. Gambling advertising was a mediator in the paths between emotion regulation and gambling severity, and between impulsivity and gambling severity. Conclusions The study demonstrates among individuals with verified gambling disorder that there is a relationship between gambling advertising and gambling severity. Regulators have an empirical basis on which to restrict the exposure to gambling advertising of vulnerable groups.
