Canada does, and the population has grown due to immigration. Google says Germany does this. You can probably find what other g20 countries do this. There are also supplemental pensions and/or tax credits or deductions based on age and income. Editing as I can’t reply to reply below. Births are drains on the system for 18-28 years. Canadian immigrants must pass a points based system that biases towards needs. such people can pay their taxes from arrival. Refugees aren’t quite the same, but I don’t know the correct labels for the difference.
