Merari tribe has two times less children & young people then the Kohath and Gershon tribes have, ~ 1 year past Exodus. (Nimbers 3)

< 30 30-50 Summary Ratio
sons of Kohath 5850 2750 8600 2,13
sons of Gershon 4870 2630 7500 1,85
sons of Merari 3000 3200 6200 0,94

Summary: 13720 8580 22300 1,6

This is two times less than the natural ratio of typical ancient societies with the traditional type of reproduction.
