It's not the way you are thinking of it. I am Jamaican and in my late 20's I was college graduate, own my own home, car and a flourishing career but no husband or kids. Every F^&^^ conversation was, she doesn't have a baby. I did not have a man either but it did not matter. I needed that baby to be complete.
Someone when as far to say I was barren and God took away my womb (breeding bag)
You have to understand there was a time kids were the only things many Jamaicans have of their own.
To lack this meant you lack value, assets, someone to take care of you in your old age.
