Singapore launches government-backed dating service pilot
Original: Singapore's government has launched a pilot scheme for a dating service using a Nobel Prize-winning matchmaking algorith
Singapore's government has launched a pilot dating service that uses a matchmaking algorithm based on research awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics. The move puts the state directly into helping singles find partners, part of the city-state's broader efforts to encourage dating and marriage amid a declining birth rate. Observers are debating whether government-run matchmaking can work and what it says about Singapore's demographic concerns.
Why now: A government running a dating service is unusual and touches on Singapore's low birth rate and demographic anxieties.
