While I second mrottenkolber that your guess is highly stereotypical, the intention of the polish state introducing their "500+" program seems to be exactly that: increasing the birth rate.
But besides those sources there is also the fact that the child-raising benefits are only unconditional from the second child on, for the first child there is a maximum monthly income to get it.[2] If the main goal was the well being part, then this would not make much sense.
