That is not quite true. Those kids will grow up and enter the labour 
market. Which is the reason that people without kids can get food and 
products when they get older.

So those kids will in fact be paying the price for support of those who 
don't have kids when they get older.

It makes no difference if the childless have a pension or not. The 
pension system only works because most people have kids. To few kids and 
the pensions would not be worth anything.

So actually the childless people should pay parents a salary for 
bringing up kids and thus ensuring their future... ;-)
