Once again the comments are not addressing my point. If the population grows every year whether 4% or 7 % or whatever that means that every succeeding year has more people than the year before – boys and girls. This is obvious and you don’t need data from every community. If most people are marrying people much younger –
you have a major problem even if not everyone does. Yes boys and girls both leave the fold- no reason to assume more of any. Basically every frum population has a population increase Brooklyn, Lakewood, Passaic, Monsey etc.. This is a big problem and people are suffering. Please don’t poo poo this issue and make claims that are not based in fact. If boys wait too long it will make a problem. What if every boy decided to wait until 30 would you then agree there would be a problem? What about 40? You need to understand the mathematics. The only difference is in the scope. It is not about emunah – not to listen to our chachomim and expect hashem to solve the problems is not reasonable. Who said hashem wants you to wait until 23 to get married? A few years back we knew there was a problem but we did not understand the cause of this problem – now we do in a very scientific way. Lets solve it please with your sons so that your daughters are not victims. Unless real daas torah tells you otherwise.
