World: (Right Now News). A significant decline in global birth rates is being observed. Experts suggest that smartphones and social media could be potential reasons for this decrease.

Research indicates that inflation, housing issues, and career pressures were already considered causes of declining birth rates. Now, the impact of technology on human relationships is also under discussion.

According to a Financial Times report, researchers from the University of Cincinnati examined the spread of 4G mobile internet in the US and UK. Areas with faster internet saw a greater decline in birth rates.

Smartphones have changed the way young people interact, leading to fewer face-to-face meetings. This shift could be a reason for the decline in birth rates.

It is noteworthy that media has previously influenced family decisions. TV dramas depicting smaller families led women to adopt a trend of having fewer children.
