No country has pushed for paying people to have children... er what? This is simply false. Plenty of countries have monthly child benefit payments, just a few examples I know of [1], [2] [3] [4]. You can easily google "child benefits [country]" to find loads more examples. There are direct government payments and/or tax breaks in many countries. Countries with decent social welfare systems usually have some form of financial support during parental leave, for both mothers and fathers too. These efforts don't really have much of an impact to raise birth rates.
