How Much is the Salary Of OFW Household Workers In Different Parts Of The World?

The largest chunk of more than 2 million OFWs deployed around the world are domestic or household service workers. Most of them are females---mothers who has left their own children to take care of someone else's children and take care of their houses. POEA data of 2015, the latest to date, shows that out of the 515,217 total new hires in 2015 based on top jobs category, the number of household service workers is the largest with 194,835 total deployment. Most of them are deployed in the Middle East particularly Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE. Another favorite destination for our HSWs are Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. Why do many OFWs prefer applying to be HSWs in spite of the growing number of maltreated OFWs especially in the Middle East? Applying for HSW job is probably the easiest. It doesn't require high educational attainment, experience and skills but having these could be an advantage. placement fee is also waived by the POEA although there are reports of some recruitment agencies collecting fees from them to be able to be deployed immediately.
