living in the US and Canada.One of the reasons for the
situation is that the Amish have the highest birth rates in the
two countries.
The Amish raise their children strictly according to their religious values,with their family traditions never broken.However,more and more of them are forced to change the way they live and adopt to a new lifestyle,especially the younger Amish,who are leaving their traditional home states in Ohio,Pennsylvania and Indiana and moving west to places where the farmland is relatively abundant.
Some think that living in crowded areas breaks their way of life and the values they keep.Parents are afraid that young Amish teenagers will mix with nonAmish and get into more contact with drugs or alcohol.
Today,more and more Amish are looking for alternative ways of making a living since raising cows and sheep is simply no longer enough to survive.They're starting to open up small businesses,like producing furniture.Some have even started Internet based shops,which is a_far_cry_from the typical Amish traditions.More than half of all Amish earn money from work outside agriculture.Though they still have horses at home,they use modern technology like cellphones and computers at work.Many have become very successful and their businesses are booming,which can be explained by the fact that they work harder than others and as a result their rate of failure is much lower than that of nonAmish companies.Amish teenagers,who must leave school after the eighth grade,are forced to look for jobs outside agriculture,which normally means more income for the family but also represents that they break their culture and traditions.
