The last three decades have seen the collapse of the family

Summary

This quote suggests that in recent years, the traditional concept of the "family wage system" has weakened or disappeared altogether. The family wage system refers to a model where a single male breadwinner earns enough to support an entire family, including a spouse and children. Over the past few decades, factors such as changing gender roles, increased women's participation in the workforce, economic shifts, and wage stagnation have contributed to the decline of this system. This transformation has brought about new family dynamics and economic challenges for households, requiring multiple earners to sustain a comfortable living.
