Drawing upon existing literature, this paper briefly discusses aspects of conspicuous consumption. Analysis of the construct has been done in the perspective of changing capitalist structure and dominating socio-philosophical ideologies, especially postmodernism. Effort has been made to extend the original concept and propose necessary refinement and integration of relevant concepts to enable a meaningful, holistic, and contemporary interpretation of the said construct. This paper examines different aspects of consumer behavior, helps to generate some important directions for future research in the field, and also discusses these issues in the context of the transitional socio-economic background of India.

The Bank of Canada has calculated that the Canadian "wealth-adjusted" savings rate" has remained at "around one-fifth of disposable income being saved by Canadian households each year in the past decade."12 This more optimistic estimate of savings supports the Bank of Canada's view that Canadian households are not over-leveraged and that savings are adequate.

We examine why studies reach contradictory conclusions concerning the value of the household life cycle model as a predictive tool in consumer expenditure research. Using a database of roughly 14,000 Canadian households, we find that household life cycle variables do not generally enhance prediction over a more parsimonious model containing a basic set of socioeconomic and demographic variables, even when comparing less aggregated to more aggregated expenditure categories. However, they do enhance prediction for categories that are defined such that the typical users of the category fall into a fairly narrow age range. The theoretical and applied significance of our findings are discussed and directions for future research are offered.

Among many other aspects, there are two basic time dimensions that need to be considered: the historical evolution of family structures associated with modernization and their individual development paths in different social classes and the evolution of a given family throughout time as it passes through a family life-cycle, addressing the fluidity of family structures and changes taking place on them (ranging, for example, from consensual unions through marriage and divorce to "blended families")3. Classic paradigms of sociological studies have stressed the family's central role in the functioning of society - either invoking a structural-functionalist tradition that relates family issues to the stability of institutions and ultimately society itself; or from the Marxist perspective t...
