In the 1950s no one would have imagined that a single person would rent an apartment. (Maybe a confirmed bachelor with a good income....) A single person would live at home (if at all possible), rent a room in a rooming house, or share an apartment with several other people.

Admittedly, that does put us back at the point of needing several incomes to provide an adequate standard of living, but having roommates is not quite the same thing has having a second working spouse.
