Singapore launches government dating app to boost birth rate

Singapore has launched FirstDate, a government-built dating app aimed at addressing the country's critically low birth rate. The app, live since September 29, offers users exactly one match at a time, selected using matching algorithms behind the 2012 Nobel Prize in economics. The move highlights how seriously Singapore treats its demographic decline, with the state now directly involved in matchmaking for its workforce.

Why now: Singapore's persistently low fertility rate is pushing the government to take unusual, direct steps to encourage pairing and childbirth.
