STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSSEOUL - South Korea approved a Seoul city plan on Friday to let 100 foreign domestic workers into the country through a pilot programme aimed at boosting birth rates by helping more women rejoin the workforce.
Many Korean women face the pressure to stay home and raise families or opt not to have a child altogether due to the high cost of raising children, while the labour ministry said there is a dwindling number of young Koreans interested in domestic work. The government estimates the current market price for full-time domestic workers living with the host families to cost around 3.5 million won to 4.5 million won a month.
Among countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development the average rate was 1.59 in 2020.
