Not as much as it was 40 years ago, but still somewhat lucrative.
It's much more lucrative to have kids in most western European nations than it is to have children in the United States. Welfare isn't what it used to be--there's a reason it's called TEMPORARY Assistance to Needy Families now. By the way, social science research has largely disproved the image of the "welfare queen" in American society--the woman having more and more children to collect more and more welfare.
