The Changing Role of Men: How This is Affecting Purchasing Habits.
Euromonitor, October 3, 2007.
(Not available at the Library of Congress)

The traditional gender roles of men and women have changed significantly since the 1960s, as the rise in women choosing further education and careers has led men to fend more for themselves at home and to play a greater role in housework and bringing up children. In line with this change in social attitudes, men have also begun to pay more attention to their personal appearance and younger men are more likely than ever to live alone and delay marriage and having children. The report looks at the influence of the media in changing attitudes towards spending, technology, fashion, health (fragrances, cosmetics and toiletries) and leisure. Geographic focus is on Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US. For sale by the publisher. The table of contents may be viewed without charge on the publisher's web site.

Leo Burnett : "Miss Understood -- She's Not Buying Your Ads."
http://www.leoburnett.com/missunderstood/

Examines why advertising can't quite seem to engage women consumers by conducting informal focus group interviews with women from their teens to their 40s in seven countries around the world, reviewing published data, talking to journalists etc. Based on this research, the presentation outlined women's changing perceptions as they pertain to five key areas that impact marketing to women: money, sex, humor, emotion and authenticity.
