Decline of Social Clubs

I was thinking about social clubs today, for instance Lion's Club and Shriners. I was wondering why there has been such a decline in the need for these clubs. Only thing I could decide on was the change in how our households in the U.S. are today compared to what they were 30-40 years ago.

Many of these clubs started in the early 1900's and saw their peak in membership in the 1950's and 60's. It is my opinion that these clubs came into existence during this time as a way of "escape" for the men of the house. Most of the early to mid 1900's our society was based on single income households. For the most part, that single income was brought in by the man of the house. He would go out and work a "9-5" job Monday-Friday (there were exceptions of course). This would lead to several hours to be with his family. He needed "escape" and he found it with his fellow, like-minded friends. This took the form of the various social clubs.

In today's society, we have moved to more and more two family incomes in the household. Over 40% of American households have two incomes. This leads to very business families running in various directions. There is less "family" time spent in the household, so there is less need for "escape."

Now, this was just my thought process and not based on facts, but I would love to hear other peoples opinions on this.
