No, certainly not. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) doesn't pay members to do anything. They don't even pay clergy. Even when members need financial assistance, the Church usually gives in-kind donations (such as food or clothing) rather than giving them money. The Church understands that some couples are not medically able to have children or that they struggle with fertility and may only have a few children so it would be unfair to pay people for having children. In addition, the Church's aim is only to provide religious knowledge and spiritual assistance as outlined in the scriptures, and giving people money doesn't have any precedence in scripture.

What is the percentage of countries that allow polygamy?
0%. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" Church) have been forbidden to practice polygamy for over 120 years. The practice of polygamy in the Mormon church was abolished in October 1890, and since that time anyone found entering into a polygamous marriage has been excommunicated from the Church. Those who disagreed with the polygamy ban broke away from the Mormon Church and started their own groups. Many of these groups are still in existence today. They sometimes are called "Mormon Fundamentalists", but they are not affiliated with the Mormon church and both groups (the Mormons and the Fundamentalists) see each other as apostates and don't want anything to do with each other.

How many mormans are there?
"Mormon" is a nickname for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (which is commonly called the "Mormon" church). There are not really different "kinds" or classifications of Mormons - you either are one, or you aren't one. Although Mormons often classify each other as 'active' (practicing), 'non-active' (not practicing) or 'less-active' (somewhere in between). Of course every Mormon is different and so you could also argue that there are as many kinds of Mormons as there are Mormons (which, as of 2013, is 14.5 million). There are also those who may call themselves "Mormons" or members of the larger "Mormonism Movement" who are not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "LDS Church"). These often belong to some breakaway group or sect (such as the Community of Christ, Apostolic United Brethren, or True and Living Church of Christ) which has separated itself from the mainstream LDS Church over some smaller doctrinal detail, while their main beliefs about Jesus as Savior, Joseph Smith as a Prophet, and the Bible and Book of Mormon as scripture remain common.
