Cultural Proximity Shapes Reproductive Choices

A drop in volatility may indicate a shrinking global economy, influencing societal dynamics, particularly in cultures dominated by older populations with young majority societies facing reduced invasions. Humans, living in close proximity, may inherently sense resource scarcity, leading to decreased reproduction. This instinct could be reflected in rationalizations around climate, career, or personal relationships. Further, as urbanization influences cultural norms, fertility declines in rural areas can result from enculturation rather than merely urban migration, indicating that media, education, and laws established in cities play a critical role in shaping reproductive behaviors.
