This is common in central Europe. In German we call that Kindergeld. It's not exactly a full salary but for some it is. Gets more with more children etc. Is expensive, gambling it is weird. Who makes a child for like 500$ a month? Some may do, but nobody cares ...
One way the state also pays for children is by having them have basically free healthcare in your name. No extra costs for that in the first 18(?) years.
The weird thing about Kindergeld ist that everyone gets that, no matter if you earn good or not. There are ways to get more of you are poor, but the base is basically basic income for your child.
I am not sure that actually helps growth. We don't have higher birth rates than other modern countries
