I didn't realize companies are charities now. A couple makes a private and typically self-serving decision to have children, therefore we ought to pay them more

  It may be self-serving, but without those kids how does civilization keep happening? See comment above.

    As if people won't continue to procreate unless their employer gives them more money. The global population is increasing, so some form of civilization will carry on. The issue is that certain societies have lopsided demographics that will topple the fragile social structures they'd been relying on, a lot of that being the consequence of short-sided incentives like what you're suggesting.
