Abstract: This study explores the differences in marital status, childbirth, and religion between urban and rural environments, highlighting their impact on policy formulation and organizational strategies. Using a quantitative methodology, the analysis included paired sample statistics and effect sizes, applying Cohen's d and Hedges correction to assess the significance of these differences. The results indicate surprising uniformity across the means analyzed, with minor and statistically insignificant differences in nativity and marital status behaviors. These findings suggest the need for flexible and inclusive policies in both the public and private sectors that equally address the needs of people from both residential settings. The conclusion of the study emphasizes the importance of recognizing similarities in urban and rural environments in formulating effective development and human resource strategies, contributing to better social and economic cohesion.
