Re:China allows couples to have three children by kleton on Monday May 31, 2021 @09:43PM (#27349958)
Anchoring. A lot of people would otherwise only have the idea to have two, but you tell them they can only have 3, they might max out their limit.

Most of Chinese want to have a girl and a boy, some may go on to have another child if they are missing a girl or a boy. I do echo other comments that the limit of 3 is not necessary. I also don't see a declining population as a problem as economists see it. They weren't right to begin with. The main drive for productivity and economy output is going to be technology, not human labors anyway, with unlimited supply of money, you can increase consumption just by printing money. Even better, when you don't need to slave human for taxes, you don't need to increase their consumption anyway.
