I wonder if this is somewhat related to the drop in overall religious belief. Speaking as someone who officially lost my faith after 36 years, it can be challenging to figure out how to replace the relative certainty of purpose and meaning provided by religion. Losing that sense of groundedness can be really difficult, and you have to quickly begin writing your own narrative for life (which can feel pretty fake at first). That’s not to say that we need to keep religion around just to keep us sane. However, finding ways to communicate value and purpose at the individual level is really important.
