I think single income households will make a comeback. Increasingly, domestic work, such as childcare, cooking, cleaning, etc., is so expensive that you'd need to make an above average wage just to afford it. A lot of the work is low "productivity" and does not lend itself to automation.

Most people don't pay for domestic work. Most people do the chores themselves. Childcare costs can be an issue in some situations. I don't see us ever going back to single income families on a large scale. It's pretty simple, costs are too high and real pay continues to erode.
