Chinese urged to have more babies

Business Weekly

Available for over a year

The Chinese government is pleading for young people to have more babies. On Business Weekly we’ll ask whether a new policy that allows families to have three children will defuse a demographic timebomb. Also in the programme, the growing industry of forensic genealogy is cracking decades old murder cases. Our reporter asks how much privacy do we have to surrender - and is it worth it? As the US marks 100 years since the Tulsa Race Massacre we head to a more recent place of protest and trauma, Minneapolis. The president of the Federal Reserve there tells us he wants to do more to fight racism and inequality - but a black businesswoman from the city says she’s not seen much sign of equality. And is the boozy power lunch back? Business Weekly is produced by Matthew Davies and presented by Lucy Burton. Picture: Stock photo of a happy baby playing on swing in playground (Credit: Getty)
