If a politician said it now they'd be mocked. But it won't be long.
Low birth rates are a problem all over the world (not just a few European countries) and countries are going to have to deal with the demographic bomb. Countries need babies.
A government could spend $20 million developing an app to match people and suggest they go on dates. They could be matched based on age, education level, and whatever turns out to correlate with good marriages โ all that data stuff.
Wouldn't have to be an app. Could be festivals. Imagine a small group of compatible people are invited to the same place at the same time (paintballing, restaurant). The government matchmaking dept does the invites; the restaurant works gives a special rate for being part of the scheme.
Private companies don't have the same incentive to do this. But states need stable family units to be created, and it's not happening organically, not enough, it needs a nudge.
Like I say, this proposal would be mocked in any policy proposal, but "why are you booing me I'm right"
