Starting August, Seoul will welcome 100 Filipino domestic helpers as part of a pilot program by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Ministry of Employment and Labor. These workers, aged 24-38, have completed pre-arrival training in the Philippines and will undergo further education in Korea, including child care and household management. They will be matched with Korean families by the end of August and will begin work on September 1. This initiative aims to reduce childcare burdens and boost the birth rate in Seoul.
This pilot program marks a significant step in integrating foreign domestic helpers into Korea's labor market, potentially leading to broader acceptance and more extensive employment opportunities for foreigners in the domestic sector. Their presence is expected to ease the childcare and household management burdens on Korean families, contributing positively to the workforce and social dynamics.
