Singapore launches dating platform for young government workers
Original: Singapore has launched FirstDate, a dating platform for government workers aged 21 to 35, as it tries to tackle a record
Singapore has rolled out FirstDate, a dating platform open to government workers aged 21 to 35, in a bid to address its record-low fertility rate of 0.87. The state-backed matchmaking effort has drawn attention for how directly the government is stepping into citizens' personal lives, with commentators weighing whether such schemes can actually encourage marriage and childbearing.
Why now: The fertility rate of 0.87 is at a record low, making dramatic policy responses like a government dating service newly newsworthy.
