Apparently, on average a bit more than half of all births are male.

So many dropouts that no one could be found to compile the statistics. Belgium's even worse, they don't know how to write.

Most people in that age range are already done with school. Do they mean people dropping out of university or something?

 Here is a politically loaded map, of Louisiana State Penitentiary. It used to be a plantation worked by slaves, but now it is a prison farm, managed as a rehabilitative project by incarcerated individuals. Obviously these are completely different scenarios. In conclusion, America firmly condemns the barbaric Mauritanians.

(extremely exploitative prison-work systems are still bullshit) It's better than slavery because you don't have to buy the men. You just incarcerate them, and their kids will enter foster care, making them that much more likely to end up in prison themselves. It's generational, but deniable (you're the one doing the denying).

They both are claimed to be isolates because of nationalism. My wikipedia tier understanding of the subject makes me imagine it's plausible (it also seems possible that they're both just distantly Altaic languages), but if it was so obviously just a political game, you'd think the relationship would be more widely accepted, at least among western scholars. Like, I was kind of surprised to learn Serbian and Croatian are literally the exact same language earlier in this topic, but looking into it, it's not like serious scholars pretend otherwise. I know nothing about the specifics of linguistic classification, but I find the relationships fascinating, so any insight into how these languages are related would be cool.

I'm not a linguist but from living in the region and being familiar with them it seems pretty obvious. I've known many people who spoke one and learned the other, and all of those people reported it to be very easy to do because the grammar was nearly identical. The Chinese origin of the vocabulary isn't disputed by anybody. I don't know if it's possible for two languages to be right next to each other and share 70% of their vocabulary and 95% of their grammar without being related, though. My understanding of language families is they're groups of languages with common features and common origins. I haven't studied it though. I'd be interested in seeing an objective argument for treating them as unrelated. The only things I've ever seen seriously arguing it were from Korean or Japanese sources, which are not trustworthy on such subjects.

I think the deal with Korean and Japanese is that the grammar is nearly identical, but the native vocabulary of Korean is or appears entirely unrelated to the native vocabulary of Japanese. The Chinese vocabulary was just adopted because of proximity, it doesn't necessarily mean they're related. Of course at that point there might not be much point in a tree model of development, I think the Altaic family isn't really a tree but more of a "stick a few unrelated languages together in Siberia for a few thousand years and they come out looking suspiciously alike" type thing. That's also how Chinese got tones, adopting them from SE Asian languages

Yeah, Chinese, Japanese and Korean are culturally and historically related. They are not, however, genetically related. Korean and Japanese share some superficial grammar similarities, in particular the SOV sentence structure, but it's clear from Japonic and Korean vocabulary (evident in a language's most basic vocabulary, with verbs like "eat" and "sleep" and nouns like "boy" and "girl") that they come from different families. The Altaic superfamily theory exists, but it's far from a linguistic consensus like Indo-European or Sinitic.

Is there any commonly accepted theory on how languages from different families can have near identical grammar? Do languages that exist near each other grow to resemble each other? I know the adoption of hanzi is a big part of why they got so much Chinese vocabulary but it doesn't seem like that'd apply to grammar, since they aren't anything like Chinese grammatically.
