1. I was referring to current practices. In Israel only 45% of Chareidi men work and most of those are in low-paying “religious” jobs. Some leaders have issued bans against secular education, even in Chareidi settings, which effectively ban professional training. In America the situation is different although among some Chassidim there is great opposition even to learning and using English.
In all fairness, that is in reaction to the draft. In other countries until very recently, everyone worked. Even recently (as far as I can tell), Ruba D’Ruba get some sort of job within 10-15 years after being married.
