But once your children get to a certain age they can take over a large amount of the work that childless people need to do themselves.

In America it seems children are also expected to support their parents in retirement, which would mean the employers should be providing more retirement support for childless employees.

Maybe my perspective is skewed, but most of our parents in the US have many more retirement options than those of us working will. Our parents have been graced with Pension Plans, Social Security, and Medicare most of which will not exists or will be water down by the time we get to it. They have also benefited from a rise in home prices where they have been able to sell and downsize for a great profit. I don't know anyone from my age group taking care of there parents in anyway currently.
