> women joining the workforce in greater numbers since the 60s

In the most literal sense yes, of course the increase in dual income homeowners is because of a greater number of women joining the workforce. But that masks the true reality, which is that those families require two incomes to a lifestyle that used to be achievable with one.

It’s a result of the lack of affordability, not a cause.
