^You’re quite right about this. An effect this has on society, that I have noticed, is the change in people’s perceptions regarding age. Back home (and to some extent even among people living abroad), people are considered “old” at a much younger age (late 20s and anything after 30) than in most other places.

In sub-continent (areas which now forms part of India and Pakistan) has a link with this young age death (life expectancy) and marriages at young age. Marriages at young age (12-13 years) was acceptable norm, because in most cases ladies died in 40s across sub-continent. It was, therefore, considered unsuitable to remain unmarried even after 20s. Education and increase average span of life has not changed the perception in many areas todate.
