Singapore Launches Government Dating App to Boost Birth Rate

Singapore's GovTech has piloted FirstDate, a dating platform for public servants aged 21-35, using a Nobel-winning algorithm. The move aims to address a record-low fertility rate of 0.87 in 2025, with fewer than 30,000 babies born. The government warns the citizen population could shrink by the early 2040s without intervention.
