Actually, the article says that. It gives several reasons for the new statistics.
Entitlements were just one.
IMHO, It is simply interesting historically. This is the FIRST time we have reached a majority of women under 30 giving birth unwed (for whatever reason). I don't know of another country with those stats.
I am curious what is to come. Is this a permanent change in our society? Will there be a whiplash effect with the next generation? Has our culture taken an entirely new direction?
It was not really a judgment. Just surprising and interesting to me.
