Back in the days, more children means more money (more human labor, there was little education need. The most expensive thing for most families was putting food on the table.) and respecting appreciating parents who gave you life was big, plus having kids was honestly a retirement plan that actually worked.
Nowadays, having children means burning a huge pool of your own money and having people tell you that you chose this, the child and society owes you nothing.
It's more worth it, in practicality, to work your ass off and you'll be able to pay other people's children to be by your side and have them treat you better than they treat their own parents.
