Most young men are single. Most young women are not

Not just "think", it's a fact that same study shows: if that was the way you are putting it, in the upper age cohort, fraction of single men would be smaller than single women: men would be with young girls and dump women of same age as themselves. But it's not the case, because percentage of single men is higher in any age cohort under 65 (then, there are more single women simply because men die at earlier age).

it's simply inequality. all those women are hooking up with the small number of high quality men (of any age), leaving the rest alone.

only fix to this i can see is normalisation of single parenthood so those women can have kids at the same rate as married women.

Isn't single parenthood already "normalized"? In the US at least, it's extremely common. Of course, it's also extremely difficult for the mother; I can't imagine why anyone would willingly choose it unless she was independently wealthy and could hire caretakers.
