I am from Brazil. The things you described as 1950 are the normal here, and do require two incomes. For example: the average rent for a tiny apartment in são Paulo (city that has 200.000 homeless households) is about the same as the minimum wage. thus you need someone to pay only the rent, and someone else to buy food, clothes, and so on.
