a little bit, yeah.
Economically speaking, you're tapping into other people's children (i.e., by being the owner of the company that employs them and thus benefitting from their work.).
Also why the "invest assets" as a solution to pension only work for a short time and/or in small places. Globally speaking, we can't all just hold assets at get rich; some peeps gotta produce our Apples (and apples) for us

This is a fascinating way to look at it. It presupposes only financial and material well-being(through tapping into other people's children) as being sufficient. I think it is a necessary condition, but don't think it is by itself a sufficient condition. It doesn't discuss emotional well-being and how having kids to support you might give that emotional comfort. Then again, I am only speculating; kids could show the middle finger and not care a hoot about their parents when they grow up.
