Background
The commercialization of family relationships emerged as a recognized global concern in the late 20th century, as scholars and social commentators observed increasing intrusion of market values into intimate spheres. Early attention focused on the rise of paid caregiving, matchmaking services, and commodified family rituals. Over time, research documented how consumer culture and economic pressures transformed familial roles and expectations, prompting international debate on the implications for emotional bonds and social cohesion.
