Reincarnation has nothing to do with having children.

No. You are not required to reincarnate into the same family between life times.

No, reincarnation is not tied to having offspring in the previous life. Reincarnation is simply the soul entering into a new body (whilst physical birth) whenever the "right time" comes naturally.

Look at it another way, yes. With fewer people having children, there is less chance of reincarnation. So we can say: if there are no newborns in the world, there will be no reincarnation, that is, no reincarnation without children.

For individuals, there may well be no such restriction. For example, who would stop people who die before they grow up from being reincarnated? Besides, people who don't like children, they shouldn't have children.
