And so the cause is NOT all down to women getting into the workforce.

Excellent, clear exposition. Once upon a time The Observer used to print this kind of thing ( usually with Neil Ascherson's byline) but you can read miles of newsprint nowadays without finding any analysis even a tenth as intelligent.
