Married Chinese couples may have up to three children, China announced on Monday, in a major shift from the existing limit of two after recent data showed a dramatic decline in births in the world's most populous country.
Beijing scrapped its decades-old one-child policy in 2016, replacing it with a two-child limit to try and stave off risks to its economy from a rapidly aging population. But that failed to result in a sustained surge in births given the high cost of raising children in Chinese cities, a challenge that persists to this day.

OPINION: Emissions pricing and congestion pricing have a lot in common. The economics of both are straightforward. And the politics of both are a mess.
Like carbon charging, congestion charging simply makes sense. About 90 per cent of economists surveyed endorsed carbon and congestion charging – a decade ago. And the case for both has not got weaker with time.

There will be plenty on the agenda for Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her Australian counterpart, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, when they meet on Sunday, their first face-to-face since the pandemic closed borders and committed leaders to Zoom calls.
