Local governments in Taiwan are implementing matchmaking initiatives to address declining birthrates.

In Changhua City, officials announced a single-person matchmaking event for 80 unmarried residents aged 20 to 40. The program features reality-puzzle challenges and outdoor tasks. Participants who register their marriage by the end of 2028 are eligible for a NT$20,000 voucher.

Similarly, authorities in Hsinchu City, Hsinchu County, and Miaoli County, alongside the Hsinchu Science Park, are launching a joint event for singles aged 22 to 45. This initiative offers substantial financial incentives, including a 60,000 TWD marriage bonus and 100,000 TWD childcare subsidies per newborn. The program utilizes interactive activities such as AR puzzles and stand-up paddleboarding to encourage social connection.
