Singapore pays citizens to read books to build a habit
Singapore introduced a scheme this month providing monetary incentives to citizens who record their reading activity on a government-run website. To receive one Singapore dollar, participants must complete 50 reading periods, each lasting a minimum of 15 minutes. According to behavioral scientists, this modest payment serves as an impetus, assisting individuals in forming a reading routine that could continue even once the incentives cease.
