Well, in the developed world we depend on people having children in order for our economy to be sustainable. This is not just for things such as Social Security and Medicare. In general, parents spend more money on their children (generally a lot more) than they receive in subsidies. In terms of GDP, it's a net win. That does not even include the benefits from avoiding the productivity loss (especially at the high end) that an economy experiences by putting serious obstacles in the way of half of its population when it comes to advancing their career.
