It cannot in a realistic world such as one we have today.
'Common Citizens' value is based on lifetime earning potential. See any life insurance claim statistics tables to have that validated.
Once the 'Common Citizen' supply is no longer relegated to individual citizen control(parents) then a company can create its own work force without the need to supply market rate compensation...so the value of the 'Common Citizen' becomes depreciated.
If you have controls in place to prevent mass birthing/slavery(which paid employees are on the slavery spectrum as they take less than the true effort of their labor) then a company will make its prime focus getting around that restriction(moving off-shore, law manipulation from inside) as the prime focus of a corp is to maximize shareholder profits....and reducing the cost of labor is a great way to do that.
If you have a world where those 'with' want to keep those 'without' busy so they cannot get involved in a 'free' government, then you will see artificial forces driving the cost of the tech high birthing to keep mothers busy for 9 mos before the 18+ years that follow...who wants do-gooders involved in legislation?...especially legislation allowing corporations to have child custody.
If everything is fair and honest, then mandatory financial work contributions by the mother/father in the birthing stations would be a way to self fund a large proportion of the cost. If you want a child and not have it mess your general body chemistry up, pay some then work some while your child gestates...and by the way, you can make insurance premiums lower for women who have not born a child as there are fewer health risks when using a pod. Tax cut for the improved health status of the mother and ability to stay on the job.(up to a number of children as dictated by those in power that understand the effects of overpopulation)....or possibly only get dependent deduction if it is a 'clean' birth...as it reduces the burden on society.
All depends on your degree of dystopia vrs utopia and your definition of both. 207
