Increase in children addicted to social networks

A new study suggests that eight percent of children in Czechia aged between 11 and 15 are addicted to social networks, with that proportion having increased from five percent in 2018. Girls are more likely to be addicted than boys.

The results of the international study were presented at a press conference in Prague on Tuesday by research team leader Michal Kalman and data analyst Petr Baďura from Palacky University in Olomouc.
