Most households subject to the two-child limit already have at least one adult in work. Of the minority of households that are not in work, more than nine-in-ten have a child under three or a disabled family member with additional care needs, making any return to the labour market challenging.
Chart showing families impacted by the two-child limit, by work status and specified characteristics: UK 2023-24

Most households subject to the two-child limit (59 per cent) already have at least one adult in work. Of the minority of households that are not in work, more than nine-in-ten (91 per cent) either have a child under three or a disabled family member with additional care needs, making any return to the labour market additionally challenging. Overall, that leaves over 95% of families benefiting from the two-child limit either working, with a child under three, or with a disabled family member.

Federal law grants Congress the power to create visa categories and set or authorize fees for them. The law generally authorizes federal agencies to set fees to recover the cost of processing an application. $100,000 fee for an H-1B visa is a punitive tax rather than a cost-recovery measure.
