It works like this: men do not marry, and do not have kids any more, it's as simple as that. Politicians just hope that immigrants will pay for everybody's welfare (well, until they understand what's going on).
There's also a kind of fight to establish the same rights for "de facto couples" as married people, and I think you already know what "rights" means here. Maybe people are not trying to escape wedding and commitment, they're trying to escape eccessive "rights". Too bad these "rights" chase them and are highly regarded as "progress", therefore will chase us anyway.
There's also a little problem with rents: even if both people in a couple do work, there's virtually no money left at the end of the month (where "month" means "no cinema, no rented dvds, no nothing", just in case somebody was wondering).
When you're 30 and still can't leave home because it's way too expensive, the "media" will proudly tell you that you have the Peter Pan Syndrome and "fear commitment". Somebody will not leave home because they do not earn enough money, while others do the same because their PARENTS, after a life's work, could not save anything.
Television (and advertisement in general) is a battlefield. People do not even stop and think for a minute, as the media opinions may differ on politics but they all agree on... certain things.
The good news is that as soon as scientists find a way to get free energy from the media bullshit we'll become wealthy in a day...
