China will allow all couples to have two children, abandoning its decades-long one-child policy.

Experts say with the arrival of the aging society and the second-baby boom, the high-end service industry will face a personnel shortage, and the salaries of maternity matrons and nurses will see continual raises.

Case: Liu Aiqun, a maternity matron from Henan province, earns as much as 11,000 yuan per month in Beijing, while her daughter who works as shop assistant can only earn 1,000 yuan in their hometown.
