Singapore's GovTech launched FirstDate, a pilot matchmaking service for government workers aged 21-35, using the Nobel-winning Gale-Shapley algorithm to offer one stable match at a time.

Singapore’s Government Technology Agency (GovTech) has launched 'FirstDate,' a pilot matchmaking service for public sector employees aged 21 to 35. The initiative utilizes the Nobel Prize-winning Gale-Shapley algorithm to provide users with a single, verified match per cycle, aiming to reduce 'swipe fatigue' and combat the city-state’s record-low fertility rate of 0.87 children per woman. While the service uses national digital ID verification to ensure safety, it has sparked debate regarding its exclusivity to civil servants and age restrictions.
