I seriously doubt it's a change in commercials. A rather large subset of all products require, or are at least influenced by, children. Consumerism is kid friendly.

I'd say a big part of the trend is the women's rights movement, putting women in the workforce and allowing them to concentrate on a career instead of being a mother. Throw in the economic changes, where it's no longer possible to raise a family on a single income in a lot of places and you can understand the change. Having kids just isn't the priority these days. There's no ulterior motives behind it.

I don't think so. Women Rights with birth control became mainstream in the 60's. If that was the case we would have seen the dramatic shift immediately. We didn't. It took fifty years!

Nothing in society changes immediately, least of all ones with religious entanglements.
