I will make a guess for the causeses (that I stole from somebody smarter Tucker Carlson [1]), and if they sound plausible, also will offer solutions.
a) The reason for "... Instead we have witnessed a mass exodus of men from the workforce altogether. ..."
Is that man are looking for work that allows them to earn more than women, that would likely (or like) to date.
Women are not likely to marry/create family with man that earns (or has less earning potential) less than them.
Just as simple as that -- reasons may be deeply cultural, biological or whatever... but I believe this is to be true.
Solution:
De-urbanization/ De-metropolization of work opportunities.
Basically more gov tech, fin tech, bio tech, and other 'high-margin' business need to spread across a given country (UK, or US or whatever).
That spread will create a number of supporting job opportunities as well, that will equalize the earning potential opportunities, lower cost of living averages, create more 'geographically attractive cultural centers' and so on.
That (lowering cost of living, lowering barriers of entry into sustainable jobs, with less competition), in turn, will lower the barriers of entry into economic stability -- which is a requirement for a modern family core.
It is, actually, desirable, that one-person-income should be enough for a family of 4 (two parents and two children).
Whether parents choose that or both work, simulatenously, is up to them.
Stable family creates purpose and emotional stability, necessary for healthy work ethics.

With that said, 3 other important fed gov initiatives that will be needed
a) affordable, not necessarily free, but truly affordable health care
b) 4-day / 6 hour work week as a 'encouraged' standard.
c) equitable divorce model where man are treated using same criteria as woman (including for not just financial separation, but children custody as well).
