Any way you slice many many young women do not get married immediately. In fact there is a strong argument to be made that the donwside that some suggest of girls not getting married immedaiteyl (if there is one) is actually mitigated if it becomes more commonplace.
so long as the expectation is that every girl get married at 19, a young woman at 20/21 may be made to feel (and it’s totally ridiculous) like an outcast.
if/when it’s socially accepted for young women to not get married first thing off the boat, then the stregnth in numbers will actually be beneficial to the individuals who dont’ gett married immediately.
To solve crisis we don’t need wholesale changes, simly a shift of the percentages, If (and these numbers are absolutely arbitraty) at present 60% of young women get married at 19, and some changes take hold to 40% get married at 19, that will be very very beneficial on the macro level.
whatever the 40% are doing in the present system, the 60% (or maybe more) will do in the new system.
