Reply To: NASI Initiative

DaasYochid: Unfortunately the age gap is not that simple. Let’s say for example that there are equal amount of boys and girls at every age. Let’s also assume that every year there is a 10% increase in the population (to keep things simple). Now take 3 different ages. For example, there will be 10 boys and 10 girls who are 22. There will be 11 boys and 11 girls who are 21. And there will be 12 boys and 12 girls who are 20. This means that there are 33 boys and girls between the ages of 20-22. However, because the boys don’t start dating until later, there are in reality less boys then girls who are going out. This means that every year there will be roughly 10% (or whatever is the actual increase in population) of girls who don’t have a guy to go out with. What I just described is the age gap theory. The NASI plan attempts to solve this by encouraging boys to date girls closer in age to their own. However, NASI doesn’t take into account the UNINTENDED consequences this will cause. If, in the current state, there are “10%” of girls who don’t have an equal guy to date…then with the manipulation of the numbers that will increase to lets say 20%. There won’t be any more girls getting married. They will just be DIFFERENT girls getting married. These different girls (i.e. older) will be taking the place of the younger ones. Unfortunately, what will end up happening is that this plan will only lead to MORE older singles in the future. Not less.
