The Chinese government is pleading for young people to have more babies. On Business Weekly we ask whether this new “three-child” policy will help reverse the ageing population. You can’t send babies out to work, so does the nation face a demographic time bomb? Plus, 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? And 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 of Minneapolis tells us he wants to do more to fight racism and inequality, but a black businesswoman from the city says she’s not seen many signs of equality. And is the boozy power lunch back? Business Weekly is produced by Matthew Davies and presented by Lucy Burton.
