Digital food marketing to children: Exploitation, surveillace and rights violations
Unhealthy food marketing has long been identified as a systems factor with negative health effects on children. The data-driven, personal data extraction and behavioural design practices of 21st century media advertising in digital technology systems mean that food marketing now sits at the intersection of multiple harms, infringing not only children’s rights to health and to food, but also their rights to privacy and to be free from exploitation. This further sharpens the need for State regulation to protect children and their rights effectively

Private Equity, HRM, and Employment
We analyze the employment, wages, human resource management, and industrial relations impact of private equity, drawing on empirical evidence from various countries and institutional contexts. We identify different types of private equity-backed buyouts and highlight the impact of creating value through long- and short-term ownership and strategies emphasizing increased efficiency or growth. We show that the effects may vary between buyout types and that it is inappropriate to regard most private equity leveraged buyouts as a zero-sum game with value transferred to shareholders at workers' expense. We conclude that regulating private equity in favor of the organizational model of managerial capitalism is unlikely to necessarily further workers' interests
