Singapore plătește oamenii să citească cărți

Singapore has launched a program rewarding citizens for reading, offering monetary incentives for logged reading sessions. Participants can earn a small amount after completing 50 sessions of at least 15 minutes each. Experts suggest that while the financial reward is minimal, it may help establish a reading habit. The program aims to make reading more appealing, especially for those who have drifted away from the habit. Critics warn that reliance on monetary rewards could undermine intrinsic motivation. The initiative is seen as a potential model for similar programs in other countries, focusing on both financial and non-financial incentives to encourage reading.
