When one of the globe’s largest economies is facing a demographic crisis, throwing $3M at an app won’t help, especially when it is run by the Tokyo government.

Absurdly:

Japanese media reports that said the app will require a confirmation of identity, such as a driver’s license, your tax records to prove income and a signed form that says you are ready to get married.

It isn’t judge fertility that is dwindling in Japan. Unlike western countries, marriages and sexual relationships are reduced as well, and surveys show that there is a lot of disinterest.

A meagre investment in a state-controlled app will not be the solution. Maybe a billion dollar investment in movies and TV shows that feature young happily married people would work better?
