I think I have posted this before, but I was tracking this demographic trend in support of DoD since the early 2000s. It was ignored then; perhaps they will begin to take notice, but I tend to doubt it.

This is not a conspiracy but there is long standing movement among the humanitarian elites that Lasch talks about. This is the latest iteration of eugenics that began in the early 20th Century which is heavily influenced by Darwinian theory. The elites believe the future is best served in their minds by a genetically superior human race which they believe is them. That’s why they bankroll Planned Parenthood and associated organizations. They are culling the human race. They believe technology - AI in particular and genetic modification - will solve the population aging problem.

Regarding the theme in the FT article, "Young women are starting to leave men behind," I would state the situation differently. It's not that women are leaving men behind but that our corrupt social system is pushing women ahead and deliberately impeding men. From our school system that relentlessly encourages girls to pursue careers while taking every opportunity to discourage boys to our legal system that minimizes the risk of discrimination lawsuits by advancing women at the expense of men, the marginalization of men is inevitable. Most of these women that advance in business and academia are not very capable, but feminist ideology is so strong that this is rarely noted. Kamala Harris is a case in point. A man with her severely limited abilities would never have been given so many advantages.

If all men (and sensible women) recognized this mad state of affairs, it could be stopped very easily. Unfortunately, many men and most women support at least some form of feminism. The result is that well less than half the population would support the kind of reform that is needed, namely, the wholesale rejection of feminism and a return to the patriarchal system that served civilization so well for millennia. And if that sounds too radical and impractical, then fasten your seatbelts because the decline of our civilization with feminism as pilot and co-pilot is just getting started.
