Yup the poster mentioning that families are forced to make the decision to live separately is the main contributing factor here. The consulting firm I work for brings in a lot of high skilled workers from India and many are forced to live and work here alone while their spouse is back in India (my personal experience is it's 50/50 male/female as women in India are as highly skilled in IT as the men and our practice makes a point as well for equal ratios when we build out our specific practice). It sucks that our government used to essentially force these families to be apart (obviously includes kids), so this is great news to me.
