Context:

Digital marketing platforms today rely heavily on user profiling to decide which advertisements should be displayed to which audience. Social networks collect demographic information such as age, gender, and income to understand user behavior and improve ad targeting. This dataset captures how different user demographics respond to online advertisements, making it valuable for studying customer behavior, marketing strategies, and purchase prediction.

The dataset is widely used in machine learning education and projects because it is simple, clean, and ideal for building classification models. It helps beginners and professionals understand how demographic features influence a user’s decision to purchase a product after viewing an ad.

Content :

This dataset contains user demographic information and their response to an advertisement. Each row represents one individual from a social media platform, including:

Age : The age of the user

Estimated Salary : Approximate annual salary of the user

Purchased : Target variable indicating whether the user bought the advertised product

0 = No purchase

1 = Purchase

The dataset can be used for:

• Predicting purchase behavior using machine learning models

• Understanding how age and income affect ad response

• Performing exploratory data analysis (EDA)

• Demonstrating classification algorithms such as Logistic Regression, KNN, SVM, Trees, etc.

• Practicing feature scaling, model training, evaluation, and visualization

As of April 2024, around 16.5 percent of global active Instagram users were men between the ages of 18 and 24 years. More than half of the global Instagram population worldwide was aged 34 years or younger.

              Teens and social media

              As one of the biggest social networks worldwide, Instagram is especially popular with teenagers. As of fall 2020, the photo-sharing app ranked third in terms of preferred social network among teenagers in the United States, second to Snapchat and TikTok. Instagram was one of the most influential advertising channels among female Gen Z users when making purchasing decisions. Teens report feeling more confident, popular, and better about themselves when using social media, and less lonely, depressed and anxious.
              Social media can have negative effects on teens, which is also much more pronounced on those with low emotional well-being. It was found that 35 percent of teenagers with low social-emotional well-being reported to have experienced cyber bullying when using social media, while in comparison only five percent of teenagers with high social-emotional well-being stated the same. As such, social media can have a big impact on already fragile states of mind.
