Having an age gap in a relationship can be a bummer. However, age gaps are not uncommon in certain geographic regions or with certain cultures. Depending on the state, the age gap for a relationship can range from two to five years. However, it is a fact that age gaps are typically met with disdain in most industrialized nations.
There are numerous factors that can contribute to the difference in age. Typically, younger women have a higher reproductive value than their older counterparts. However, it is also important to note that younger men can have more than one wife at a time. The competition for females on the marriage market is also intensifying. However, if both parties are mature, the age difference is not much of a concern.
The report surveyed 21 countries in total. The study compiled data in four standard measures, which were then distilled into the above gif. These include the most obvious, the most important and the least likely to have a significant effect. In terms of the most important measure, the age gap in South Korea stood out as the largest, with an average difference of more than ten percentage points. The average age gap in France, on the other hand, is far less. It is also interesting to note that while the average age gap in Australia is only a mere six percentage points, the average age difference in Finland is nine points. The average age difference in the United States is slightly less, at eight points.
The study also included a section on religious commitment. While the average age gap in most countries is minimal, it is nonetheless interesting to note that the United States ranks near the bottom of the pack. However, it does have a higher than average share of under-40s who identify with a religious group, compared to older adults. On the whole, this study confirms that religion remains a key component of many societies. However, there are numerous economic and cultural differences that can make a religious commitment more difficult to maintain, or even impossible. In fact, there are several countries in the study that have both high and low levels of religious commitment. In general, the world’s most religious nations are those that are predominantly Christian. However, the majority of these nations are also home to very young populations. Thus, the age gap in these countries may be more of a function of a lack of social cohesion than of a lack of religious affiliation. The report also provides tables and figures on the most important data points, which are a good starting point for comparisons.
