Why does inert pair effect increases down the group?

ANSWER
The inert pair effect is the tendency of two Electrons in the outermost atomic orbital to remain unshared.
The Electrons present in the intervening d-(and f-) orbitals do not effectively shield the s-electrons of the violence shell down the group. As a result, the inert pair of s Electrons remains more tightly held by the nucleus and hence participates less in bond formation.

Answer:-✔✔↙️↙️
Inert pair effect means reluctance of velaence shell electrons of s-orbitals in bond formation. On going downward the group, d and f shells appear which have poor shielding effect. Due to this fact, the nuclear charge on valence shell Electrons increases which prevents them to participate in bond formation.
