What new tricks has Singapore used to urge marriage?

A survey shows that the age of marriage in Singapore has been delayed by 3-4 years in the past 30 years. Singapore also has one of the highest single rates in Asia. The reasons include the substantial increase in women’s education and uncertainty in the workplace.

To this end, the Singaporean government has begun to "urge marriage" in various fields, and has recently organized various large-scale blind date activities, including tasting food, overseas travel, etc., and even issued the slogan "You date, the government pays" Shop sign.

According to Singapore’s 2017 population briefing, Singapore’s total population has only grown by 0.1% since 2016, the lowest growth rate since 2003. Behind this data is Singapore's aging population, late marriage and low fertility. The low marriage rate has a negative impact on Singapore's economic growth, medical taxation and immigration policies.
