The stricter more traditional orders have more vocations. That is magnified in the convents. The traditional orders that wear full habit and concentrate on prayer are young orders. The ones that “modernized” including abjuring the habit are all begging for alms to support their aged and retired members. There are no young nuns in them.

So many left when they did away with the habit & modernized the rules. Became more like college dorm.
