💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: A new paper links the 2007 #iPhone launch to declining #US birth rates, finding 4.5-8% drops among 15-19 year olds in areas with early iPhone access.

The researchers suggest #smartphones may reduce in-person socializing while increasing access to #porn and birth control #information. Skeptics note that teen birth rates were already falling since the #1990s.

From the article:

- In country after country, the birth rate plunged after the introduction of smartphones, no matter what the previous trend was.

- Among couples, sexual dysfunction is higher for the young adults with the heaviest social media use.

- The time taken up by social media — and the values and lifestyles such platforms project — has also made it harder for young adults to form committed relationships.

What one country’s experiment says about attempts to boost birth rates.

Why did Hungary’s pronatalist approach deliver an early rise in births only then to fall back?

And what lessons does it offer to other countries desperate to lift fertility?
