New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said a proposal to ban children under the age of 16 from social media will be part of the government’s work program, increasing its chances of becoming law.

Education Minister Erica Stanford will lead the work and report back to cabinet with options, Luxon said Sunday in Wellington.
