It has two interpretations.
On one hand, the rise indicated women who had careers in their lives entered their 55+ years and brought the average up. Before then it simply wasn't an option as a woman even if you wanted one.
On the other it can indicate increased participation due to scarcer financial resources necessitating labor.
