ames, lets put it this way. Supposedly, every year MORE children are born. So there are only 1000 boys and girls age 30. Only 900 boys and girls age 29. Only 800 boys and girls age 28…So if every 30 yo boy would marry a 30 yo girl, there would be no left over unmarried 30 yo girls. But if the 30 yo boys are only looking to marry 28 yo girls, its just not proportionate and there will be 28 yo girls with no boys to marry. Am I right, AZOIS?
Therefore, they think closing the age gap would resolve the issue of so many older unmarried singles.
I DO NOT endorse what I wrote. This is just what the other pp here seem to believe. According to me, it makes sense on pen and paper, but thats all. There are too many pp in this world (in shidduchim) to put it all down to some estimated figures.
