dc.description.abstract | It is widely acknowledged that foreign domestic workers play an increasingly significant role in plugging social reproductive gaps in the areas of housework, childcare,
and eldercare amongst many industrialised economies
in East and Southeast Asia. This dependency is particularly acute in Singapore where one in five households employs a live-in domestic worker.
Despite this growing trend, the industry remains largely
unregulated where domestic work is still perceived as
informal work within the private sphere of the household, and hence excluded from key labour
rights and protections. This briefing presents main
findings from a research study that examines
the costs and benefits of migration amongst Indonesian domestic workers in Singapore, whilst
proposing recommendations for enhancing the existing regulatory framework concerning employment
and hiring practices in the domestic work industry. | en |
