The term "Macrosystem" refers to the broader cultural and societal context that influences individuals and their development. It encompasses factors such as economic systems, political structures, and cultural values that shape the environment in which people live. This system operates at a large scale, affecting communities and societies as a whole. In the context of Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, the macrosystem is the outermost layer, impacting all other systems, including the microsystem (immediate environment) and mesosystem (interconnections between microsystems). Understanding the macrosystem helps researchers and policymakers address issues that affect individuals and communities on a larger scale.
