Singapore launches government-backed dating service amid record-low birth rate

Original: Singapore Introduces Government-Backed Dating Service as Birth Rate Hits Record Low

The move makes the state directly involved in matchmaking, prompting widespread discussion about whether dating apps and government programmes can convince young Singaporeans to marry and have children, with many debating privacy, awkwardness and effectiveness.

Why now: The unusual step of a government running a dating service to counter a record-low birth rate is striking and debatable.
