Taubcenter writes: Another factor that contributes to the high rate of crime among young men in Arab society involves the emerging trends in the Arab marriage market. The average age difference between a bride and groom in Israeli Arab society is six years. Since cohorts below age 18 are smaller than those aged 18-22, this means that starting from around 2026 the number of men at the normative age for marriage will be about 5–10% greater than the number of Arab women at the normative age for marriage. This ratio does not even take into account the phenomenon of polygyny in Arab society, found primarily among the Bedouin population, which itself reduces the number of women available for marriage to never-married men.
However, in the population pyramid above I don't see that cohorts below 18 years of age are SMALLER than age 24. On the contrary. The boys are having a growing choice of younger marriageable girls.
