Control of male and female sexuality is important for the preservation of 
family wealth. When wealth becomes relatively assured, such control of 
sexuality becomes redundant. 

But, as Eugen has pointed out, birth rates have fallen in such societies for 
various reasons. I am guessing that birth rates will fall among the subset of 
Indians who belong to the IT sector but continue to remain high among others.

In other words, the IT sector is likely to become synonymous with "long hours, 
high salary, no family" - unless something changes.
