AZ,

“At least according to NASI, it seems pretty clear that 22+ is “older”. That is their definition”
Incorrect (you’ll probably say… ” “ay” they started the program for girls 22+….” that is simply a statement of total lack of undestanding of the situation, the project in general, and this program in particular.
DY feel free to explain.
You could do a more accurate job than I; you contemplated and consulted on this and came up with the ideas, I’m just figuring it out based on the program. But I’ll try, and you’ll please correct me when necessary.
Here goes: 22 is not the age at which a girl is “older” in terms of marriageability, they’re trying to get them married before they become “older”; an ounce of prevention…
“NASI’s idea will work only if EVERY person marries someone born in the exact same year.”
Incorrect
DY feel free to explain
It will work to whatever extent the age gap is closed. My example was an extreme (halevai it should work that well) to illustrate the point.
far vos,
“Actually, all that is needed is for the AVERAGE age gap to be about zero. So one chosson could be 5 years older than his kalla, while another kalla could be 5 years older than her chosson.”
Yes, but this holds true with or without the NASI project.
The NASI project is designed to bring the overall average age gap closer to zero. This is not happening without NASI, currently.
“it might fix the problem -say- 85%” (passfan)
How do you get that percentage?
It was obviously an example and illustration, not a real number (although it’s a real possibility, if the age gap can be closed). You did the same thing with your example of 10% annual population increase.
