I think the idea is that employees with kids are being given extra perks at work because they have kids. Viewed abstractly, the parents are being compensated more than the non-parents, when all forms of compensation -- financial and otherwise -- are taken into account. (That's the idea anyway. Whether it's actually true I cannot say. There are so many confounding variables and pretty much no conclusion can be drawn from one example.)
