It's an old problem and going back to polygamy is the only solution.

There are more women then men staistically and men have a higher attrition rate due to criminality, delinquency, dangerous occupations and wars. More boys go off the derech then girls.

Your sample is too small to draw any conclusion.

My sample is too small to draw *many* conclusions, but it's not too small to draw *some* conclusions. But I do have some better data coming. I've applied to the Province of Ontario for grade-by-grade numbers that cover more years. If I get that, I should be able to control for more variables and see deeper.
