    <Abstract>Introduction: Cultural globalization and cyberspace growth are having an enormous effect on people’s lives in today’s world. Cyberspace, through social networks, online media, and digital content, allows not only communication but also the transfer of cultures. Therefore, this review study focuses on the trend of childbearing influenced by these two factors. Methods: Scientific studies published in reputable databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and JSTOR, were examined to compile this review article. Results: The findings revealed that cyberspace and cultural globalization have multidimensional impacts on the tendency toward childbearing, which may vary depending on age, gender, education level, and geographical location. Young people may be more influenced by online content and global cultures, leading to different attitudes compared to older generations. The use of cyberspace can alter childbearing-related attitudes. Moreover, cyberspace promotes individualistic and consumer-oriented values, Additionally, it introduces new values and attitudes to users through the dissemination of diverse content and international connections. As one of the primary tools of cultural globalization, cyberspace also plays a crucial role in disseminating diverse cultures. Conclusion: Generally, this review article clarified that cyberspace and cultural globalization might significantly affect the tendency toward childbearing by transmitting new values and attitudes. </Abstract>
