IT之家 9 月 30 日消息，新加坡政府科技局（GovTech）推出了一个官方婚恋交友平台 FirstDate，这是该国家政府为应对快速下降的生育率而开展的最新社会工程实验。
依据该服务官网，FirstDate 是一个面向 21 至 35 岁单身人士的试点约会服务，当下仅对公务员开放，申请截止日期为 10 月 5 日。
IT之家从网站介绍获悉，FirstDate 的外观初衷是为了避免无休止地滑动挑选。使用者不再浏览一串资料，而是填写一份关于兴趣、习惯、价值观和偏好的问卷。
服务方随后会在每个周期开展一次匹配（即双方接受并预计会面所需的时间）。每条匹配都包含兼容性评分、对方的简要介绍和个人留言。匹配成功后，你有 3 天时间答应。相互接受就可以解锁联系方式。
FirstDate 使用了一项曾取得诺贝尔经济学奖的匹配算法 —— 盖尔-沙普利算法。该算法由盖尔和沙普利在 1962 年提出，2012 年获诺贝尔经济学奖。
FirstDate 是新加坡政府科技局今年早些时候举办年度黑客马拉松的产物。据英国《金融时报》报道，新加坡人口刚刚超过 600 万，去年生育率创下了每名妇女 0.87 个孩子的历史低点，低于 2024 年的 0.97，接近韩国全球最低的 0.8。人口学家认为，维持人口稳定需要达到 2.1 的门槛，除非有净移民增长。
出生率下降，再加上医疗工艺的进步延长了寿命，使新加坡今年有望成为一个“超级老龄”社会，联合国将其定义为一个超过 21% 人口年龄在 65 岁及以上的国家。到 2030 年，预计每四名新加坡人中就有一人将达到这一门槛。

IT Home News, September 30 - Singapore's Government Technology Agency (GovTech) has launched an official dating platform called FirstDate, the latest social engineering experiment by the country's government to address its rapidly declining birth rate.
According to the service's official website, FirstDate is a pilot dating service for singles aged 21 to 35, currently open only to civil servants, with the application deadline set for October 5.
IT Home learned from the website's introduction that FirstDate's design philosophy is to avoid endless swiping and selection. Instead of browsing through a stream of profiles, users fill out a questionnaire about their interests, habits, values, and preferences.
The service then conducts a match once per cycle (the time required for both parties to accept and expect to meet). Each match includes a compatibility score, a brief introduction of the other party, and a personal message. Once matched, you have 3 days to accept. Mutual acceptance unlocks contact information.
FirstDate uses a matching algorithm that once won the Nobel Prize in Economics - the Gale-Shapley algorithm. Proposed by Gale and Shapley in 1962, it won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2012.
FirstDate emerged from the annual hackathon hosted by Singapore's GovTech earlier this year. According to the UK's Financial Times, Singapore's population has just surpassed 6 million, and last year's fertility rate hit a historic low of 0.87 children per woman, down from 0.97 in 2024, approaching South Korea's global minimum of 0.8. Demographers note that a rate of 2.1 is needed to maintain population stability, unless there is net immigration growth.
The declining birth rate, combined with advances in medical technology extending lifespans, is expected to make Singapore a "super-aged" society this year - defined by the United Nations as a country where over 21% of the population is aged 65 and above. By 2030, it is projected that one in four Singaporeans will reach this threshold.
