Surely, the biggest factor is women’s financial freedom.

Even in the Asian countries lauded for collectivism, I would bet it is women’s civil rights and financial freedom that is changing the situation from collectivist to individualist.

Which makes sense to me since it is probably easier to keep a society collectivist if half the population has little choice.
