Singapore își plătește cetățenii să citească zilnic

Singapore has launched a five-year national campaign to promote reading habits, offering small financial rewards for tracking reading time. The initiative aims to combat declining attention spans and the decrease in reading habits globally. Participants can earn rewards by logging reading sessions of at least 15 minutes, but the financial incentives are minimal. Critics debate whether monetary rewards can foster a genuine love for reading, with some suggesting that intrinsic motivation is more effective. Research indicates that financial incentives may not sustain long-term reading interest, especially for those without a pre-existing passion for books.
