Singapore is paying its citizens to read
Original: Singapore is paying its citizens to read. (But will it work?) https:// lithub.com/singapore-is-paying -its-citizens-to-r
Singapore has introduced a scheme that pays citizens to read, an initiative examined in a new piece of commentary that asks whether financial incentives can actually boost reading habits. The question of whether cash rewards can build a lasting literary culture is drawing attention among readers and commentators, with skeptics doubting that payment alone can create a genuine love of books.
Why now: A government paying people to read is an unusual and controversial policy that sparks debate over whether incentives work.
