To which economic climate are you referring? The rates have been dropping for 40 years... the economy has had many changes during that time.

The other comment was closer to the reasons I've read - later marriages, and/or people who do not marry in the first place.

The other ugly factor is that the rate of single-parent-dom has increased enormously. So tons of kids are growing up in households with only one adult, are "latchkey kids", and aren't seeing any role models for what loving adult relationships should look like. This does not bode well for the future.
