Ofcourse,

(1) How much of that ratio can the age gap alone account for?

(2) Especially given your second sentence, does this imply that marriage-age single men and women put different weight on the goal of marriage, and that women are more likely to go to shadchanim, not just because guys are sought out and the market is in their favor, but because they actually feel more pressed to get married? In other words, how much of the crisis is a numbers gap based on the genders’ respective sense of urgency to get married?
