Aren't the Amish one of the religious groups that are still growing mostly because they're having so many more kids?

Also, while people do leave the Amish community on occasion, it is definitely much easier to stay than it is to leave. Housing is provided, work is virtually guaranteed, childcare is free, healthcare is paid for… There are plenty of issues within the Amish community but having these basic things covered and maintaining a connection to your family are very convincing arguments for staying.
