“What’s so complicated? No one said more girls than boys are born every year. More CHILDREN OF BOTH GENDERS are born every subsequent year than the previous year because our population is growing B”H.

It’s YEAR x that doesn’t match up to YEAR y in terms of the number of available singles. Whichever gender belongs to the younger year will bederech hateva have more unmatched members.”

Since statistics show (freely available on the CDC website) that year after year on average 3 percent more boys than girls are born, even with larger “class size” every year, there are still on average 3% more boys than girls at every age, so naturally 3% boys at age X will have to marry someone of a different age. Are you saying that population growth far exceeds 3% on average year over year every year to the point that NASI is able to publish a statistic that 10% of girls at every age level wont have a shidduch?
