Monash University and online dating service eharmony have teamed up for a
Future of Dating research project, which predicted that by 2038 the majority of babies born will come from parents who met online.
The study project lead by Monash School of Business professor Yelena Tsarenko primarily focused on speculating the effect online dating will have on families and relationships over the coming decades.
They suggest that by 2030, over a third of babies will be ebabies, which is huge leap forward considering just two decades ago online dating was very much in its infancy.

Children born to parents who met online will be the majority within the next 18 years.
With the future of dating shifting online, researchers are predicting a rapid rise in ebabies – infants born to parents who met via dating sites.
Within the next decade, 34 per cent of newborns will be considered ebabies, and more Australians are expected to meet online by 2040 rather than through more traditional means.
Children born to parents who met online will be the majority within the next 18 years. With the future of dating shifting online, researchers are predicting a rapid rise in ebabies - infants born to parents who met via dating sites. Within the next decade, 34 per cent of newborns will be considered ebabies, and more Australians are expected to meet online by 2040 rather than through more traditional means. The days of meeting a potential partner at the local bar or pub are also gone, with 29.4 per cent of Australians saying online dating is their go-to when looking for a relationship. Just 6.3 per cent opt for the former compared with one in five during the 1980s.
