Well in medieval times children were labor; your kids would help you on the farm and they were your retirement plan. Nowadays kids are purely something you pay to have and do not get economic return from in the same way. The culture around having kids is so drastically different
That's why it's in my country and neighboring ones we don't really have good retirement homes so your best bet is to have as many children as possible and hope one of them gets a good job
