There is a reason why education correlates with economic success, and lack of education with economic failure. There are always a few inner city kids who will become massive rap stars, there are a few farm girls in depressed middle American meth towns who will become super models instead of Walmart cashiers, and there are always a few uneducated Yiddish speaking Chassidim who become successful businessmen. See, the problem is, there doesn’t need to be someone, there needs to be *thousands* of such people for this to work economically. Wow, you know someone! All the problems don’t exist then, because one guy beat the odds. Moshys “i know someone you grew up with who runs a very succesful buisines” I still remember the times a shtreimel closely resembled a frisbee. With little economic preparation in terms of college and vocational training, how will this growth spurt be sustainable?Īnd if the breadwinners won’t have enough on their heads, they’ll have handsome shtreimels that’ll brush against the moon, that’s how speedily the shtreimel is multiplying in height. That’s only the beginning of Hasidic economic burden there are many mouths to feed and twice the feet to clothe, many diapers and then weddings to fund. With a need for housing within close proximity of parents and shuls, and the subsequent rising real estate value, homes in Hasidic neighborhoods are bound to become more and more expensive. The economic implications of a continued growth explosion like that are only to be seen. If these trends continue, we can figure that the average family of 8 will have multiplied by eight in a mere thirty years. Hasidic women age 30 often already have 6 children or more - that’s before their biological clock even ticks at ripe. I’m not sure if family sizes are getting smaller, because when I was a child many of us were from families of 12, and that number seems to have gone down somewhat, but even if there’s some family planning, families are still VERY large. That’s a growth rate nearly four times higher than the average American family!īased on these growth trends I expect that Hasidim will grow to startling proportions in the next fifty years. The average Hasidic family, according to Wikipedia, has 8 children.
