- Child beauty pageants are a $5 billion industry in the US with over 250,000 children participating in the 5,000 pageants held annually, however there are no federal laws regulating them. - While pageants began in the 1960s as modest "Sunday best" competitions, many have evolved into productions involving glitz, glamour, and large fees. - There is debate around whether pageants have negative effects on children such as promoting unhealthy body images or eating disorders versus benefits such as building confidence.
