The use of social networks has considerably changed our lifestyles. A study carried out by the University of Helsinki in Finland, called ” Reasons to Postpone Childbearing during Fertility Decline in Finland “, even evokes the idea of a correlation between the time spent online and the desire to have children.
In this survey, carried out with the aim of explaining the reasons for the sharp drop in the birth rate observed in the country in recent years, nearly 3,500 people, aged 20 to 44, were questioned about their desire for motherhood.
“The most addicted to social networks” do not want to change their lives
Half said they did not want or no longer wanted children, while more than a third (36.6%) postponed this project. 13.4% said they could not say if they planned to have children or more children.
The reasons for the decision to postpone the arrival of a child are multiple. Some talk about their uncertain situation, others prefer to keep their lifestyle and not change anything in their daily lives. According to researcher Kateryna Savelieva, who carried out this study, these same people are those who are the most addicted to social networks.
