Reply To: Shidduch Crisis is not real!

Thank you for correcting that. Growth rate combined with age gap.

I disagree. He said that proportionally, it is equally as applicable to a population with a smaller growth rate. I do not agree with that statement. If one were to convince me that growth rate + age gap causes a shidduch crisis, I would contend there is a certain percentage of growth rate, which would lead to a certain percentage of women remaining single, that one might define as the cutoff between “not a crisis” and “crisis.” So Joseph’s conclusion that the MO community also has a growth rate + age gap based crisis, even if it has a smaller growth rate, is not sound. The actual growth rate is an essential determinant in that equation.
