Singapore’s GovTech-led dating pilot program, FirstDate, is adjusting its parameters to broaden participation. The program, designed to facilitate social connections, is now open to individuals up to the age of 45, an increase from the previous limit. This expansion aims to cater to a wider demographic seeking companionship through the government-supported initiative. FirstDate leverages technology to match eligible singles based on shared interests and preferences. The program intends to combat declining marriage and birth rates within Singapore. Interested individuals are encouraged to apply, with the current application window closing on Oct 26. This pilot program is part of ongoing efforts by the Singaporean government to address societal shifts and promote stronger social networks.
