Yeah, in any agriculture based society, kids are an asset.
If you owned a farm/ranch in the US, i suppose the same could apply to some extent.

Otherwise (financially speaking) kids are a liability.
I read somewhere years ago, it costs approx $100-150k to raise a kid to 18yrs old today in the US.
This is from a medium income house-hold.

Think of that.
It doesn't make a lot of financial sense of to have a lot of kids.
Well, at least not if you're going to be directly finacially responsible for them.
Even having one kid isn't easy in this day & age.
I don't know how ppl can afford to finance a house & have children
